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!

 We first determine the vertex by using the formula,<span>-b/2a = vertex, in order to get the values for the t-coordinate. That is why we got 
</span>
v_y=26.5 sin(53)=21.163v_x=26.5 cos(53)=15.948 
then

let x=0since you are going to land on a 3m tally=-.5(9.8)t^2+ 21.163*t
y=0=-4.9t+21.163t=4.31
vx*4.31= total distance travelled=68.88m
Then for the first wheel, you have 15.948m=vxdetermine the time when he reaches 23 meters, that is

23/15.948=1.44218 sec

substitute t with1.44218 sec, then determine the height.
h(1.44218)=20.329

determine vertex by using a graphing calculatort=2.1594s h=22.85m
using the time value of the vertex, determine horizontal distance travelled

A book is launched up along the rough incline. Kinetic energy given to a book at initial point is 100 J. Book comes to stop at s
den301095 [7]

Answer:

(A) 60 J

Explanation:

At state 1

KE₁=100 J

At state 2

KE₂ = 0

U₂=80 J

Given that surface is rough so friction force will act in opposite to the direction of motion

Lets take work done by friction = Wfr

From work power energy

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

Wfr + U₂=ΔKE

Wfr+80 = 100

Wfr= 20 J

Now when book slides from top position then

Wfr+ U = KEf - KEi

-20 + 80 = KEf-0

KEf= 60 J

(A) 60 J
