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!

When atoms form a bond, it is usually because each atom acquires a more stable arrangement of electrons in its electron shells.
liraira [26]
C. Usually when an atom loses or gains an electron, it is because it is trying to satisfy the Octet Rule. The Octet Rule states that an atom is at its stablest when it has 8 valence electrons (two in helium's case)

If you look on the periodic table, elements on the left (Alkaline Metals) are the most reactive because they only have one valence electron (or electron in the outer shell). Elements on the right (Noble Gases) are the least reactive because they have a full outer shell of 8 valence electrons.

Later on you will find that as stability decreases as you go down the periodic table but that is a discussion for a different time.

Al is floating freely in her spacecraft, and you are accelerating away from her with an acceleration of 1g. 5) How will you feel
wariber [46]

Answer:

D. You will feel the same weight as you do on Earth

Explanation:

In free space, she is suppose to be weightless.

Free fall can be described as body in motion where the body is under the effect of acceleration due to gravity only and no other acceleration..

Since I am accelerating away from her at an acceleration of 1g

Then,

F=ma, where a=g

Then F=mg

Since my weight on earth is W=mg

This is equals to my weight in the spaceship, then I will feel the same weights as I do on earth.

Suppose that while moving into an apartment you move a refrigerator into place by sliding it across the floor. The refrigerator w
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

358 N

Explanation:

F=\mu N where F is the force, \mu is the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the refrigerator and N is the weight

Normally, N=mg hence F=\mu mg where m is the mass of object and g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this case, N is given as 895 N and the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the refrigerator is 0.400 hence substituting them in the formula we obtain

F=\mu N= 0.4\times 895 N= 358 N
