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!

a 2kg marble is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes another 4kg marble moving in the opposite direction at -3 m/s. What will be the
Elan Coil [88]
Momentum is conserved after the collision 

Momentum of 2 Kg before collision = 2 * 3 = 6
Momentum of 4 kg  before collision = 4 * -3 = -12

so 6 + -12 = 2 * -4 + 4 *x   where x is velocity of 4kg marble.

4x - 8 = -6
4x = 2
x = 0.5 

Velocity of 4 kg marble is 0.5 m/s after collision

The 2 kg marble will move in the opposite direction to which it was moving before the collision.

Why does Mars not have an electric field and why
tangare [24]

Answer:

The difference lies in the planets' respective magnetic fields, because while Earth's magnetism comes from within, Mars' does not. Earth's magnetism comes from its core, where molten, electrically conducting iron flows beneath the crust. Its magnetic field is global, meaning it surrounds the entire planet

A ballon is filled with air. what forces are acting on the ballon and the air?
joja [24]

Answer: Three forces act significantly on a freely floating helium-

filled balloon: gravity, air resistance (or drag force), and a

buoyant force.

Explanation:

The air pressure on the bottom of the balloon is slightly higher than the air pressure on the top of the balloon (because of the altitude difference). This difference gives rise to the bouyant force. This force competes with gravity as the two main forces acting on the balloon. Every time your feet hit the ground when you are running, the ground hits your feet with an equal and opposite force. Newton’s third law explains how balloons and rocket engines work. When the neck of an inflated balloon is released, the stretched rubber material pushes against the air in the balloon. The air rushes out of the neck of the balloon.
