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!

Answer:

(a) A = 0.0800 m, λ = 20.9 m, f = 11.9 Hz

(b) 250 m/s

(c) 1250 N

(d) Positive x-direction

(e) 6.00 m/s

(f) 0.0365 m

Explanation:

(a) The standard form of the wave is:

y = A cos ((2πf) t ± (2π/λ) x)

where A is the amplitude, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

If the x term has a positive coefficient, the wave moves to the left.

If the x term has a negative coefficient, the wave moves to the right.

Therefore:

A = 0.0800 m

2π/λ = 0.300 m⁻¹

λ = 20.9 m

2πf = 75.0 rad/s

f = 11.9 Hz

(b) Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf

v = (20.9 m) (11.9 Hz)

v = 250 m/s

(c) The tension is:

T = v²ρ

where ρ is the mass per unit length.

T = (250 m/s)² (0.0200 kg/m)

T = 1250 N

(d) The x term has a negative coefficient, so the wave moves to the right (positive x-direction).

(e) The maximum transverse speed is Aω.

(0.0800 m) (75.0 rad/s)

6.00 m/s

(f) Plug in the values and find y.

y = (0.0800 m) cos((75.0 rad/s) (2.00 s) − (0.300 m⁻¹) (1.00 m))

y = 0.0365 m

C) During chemical reaction, total mass remains the same.

This is because due to the law of conservation of mass, stating that in a chemical reaction, neither mass will be created nor destroyed. So, the total mass will not change when chemical reactions occur.
