C. hydrogen accreted onto a white dwarf from a close companion rapidly fuses to helium, releasing a large amount of energy.
The accreted material, composed mainly of hydrogen, is compacted on the surface of the white dwarf due to the intense gravitational force on that place. As material accumulates, The white dwarf becomes increasingly hot, until it reaches the critical temperature for ignition of nuclear fusion.
Answer:
Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy
Explanation:
In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.
The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.
We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the cell phone is 9J
Explanation:
The kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of motion.
The kinetic energy is expressed as
KE= 1/2m(v)²
Given data
Mass of cell phone m= 80g--to kg=80/1000= 0.08kg
Velocity of cell phone v= 15m/s
Substituting our given data we have
KE= 1/2*0.08(15)²
KE= (0.08*225)/2
KE=18/2
KE= 9J
