Suppose that a white dwarf is gaining mass through accretion in a binary system. what happens if the mass someday reaches the 1.

4 solar mass limit? suppose that a white dwarf is gaining mass through accretion in a binary system. what happens if the mass someday reaches the 1.4 solar mass limit? the white dwarf will collapse to become a black hole. the white dwarf will undergo a nova explosion. the white dwarf will collapse in size, becoming a neutron star. the white dwarf will explode completely as a white dwarf supernova.

Answer:

The white dwarf will explode completely as a white dwarf supernova.

Explanation:

When a white dwarf gains mass to the Chandrasekhar limit of 1.44 solar masses, it would begin to collapse and, in a few seconds, the matter in the white dwarf will undergo nuclear fusion, and will become in a supernova.  

Only when the core of the white dwarf is composed of neon, magnesium, and oxygen, the gaining mass to 1.44 solar mass, will result in a neutron star.      

Therefore, the answer is the white dwarf will explode completely as a white dwarf supernova.              

I hope it helps you!

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow
Naya [18.7K]
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

Technician A says that the intake and exhaust manifolds have to be removed before removing the engine from the vehicle. Technici
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: Technician A is correct

Explanation:

The intake manifold is the compactment that all fuel and air supply to the cylinders. It's connected to the engine so it has to be disconnected while the exhaust manifold receives all the exhaust gases from the cylinders and releases the gas through a single or double exhaust gases outlet.

What solutes do not dissolve well in water?
hammer [34]

Answer:

Many substances do not dissolve in water and that is because they are non-polar and do not interact well with water molecules. A common example is oil and water. Oil contains molecules that are non-polar, thus they do not dissolve in water.
