In which wavelength region(s) would we need to carry out observations in order to study the accretion disk around a white dwarf

in a binary system?

Inga [223]3 years ago

In “Ultraviolet light” and “X-ray” light wavelength regions are needed to carry out observations to study the “accretion disk” around “a white dwarf” in a “binary system”.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Occurrence of an accretion disk is due to presence of diffuse material around a white dwarf in orbital motion. White dwarf is constituted from electron-degenerate matter therefore also called as degenerate dwarf in binary system. Frictional forces and gravitational forces are responsible to compress and high “temperature” of the material, results with emission of “electromagnetic radiation”. “Accretion disks” of white dwarf radiate in the UV-rays and X-rays wavelength region of spectrum.

A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +
SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are V_a and V_b respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

V_{ba}=V_b-V_a

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}

A. State whether the acceleration is positive, negative or zero for each section in the speed versus
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a=positive

b=0

c=positive

d=negative

Explanation:

a=acceleration depends on the speed and time. if the speed and time are increasing at the same rate, the acceleration value will be positive as the vehicle is speeding up.

b=the speed and time are not increasing, therefore the vehicle is either stationary or travelling at a steady pace.

c=same explanation as a

d=the speed and time are not increasing at the same rate as the speed is decreasing. this means that the car is slowing down

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m
belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J        

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36  

U = 0.000027 J

U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
makkiz [27]

electromagnetic spectrum is consisting of many frequency range which is from gamma rays to radio waves

they are of various wavelength and different energy levels

minimum wavelength will occurs at Gamma rays

and maximum wavelength at Radio waves

the list of increasing order of wavelength is as following

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible Light < Infrared Waves < Radio Waves

so least to maximum order is

1. Gamma rays

2. X rays

3 Ultraviolet

4 Visible light

5 Infrared waves

6 Radio waves
