Question

Choose the correct description, of what happens to the electron speeds in a more massive white dwarf. Choose the correct description, of what happens to the electron speeds in a more massive white dwarf. As the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must increase to resist gravity. To do this, the electrons must move faster. As the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must decrease to resist gravity. To do this, the electrons must move faster. As the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must decrease to resist gravity. To do this, the electrons must move slower. As the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must increase to resist gravity. To do this, the electrons must move slower.

Answer 1

Answer:

As the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must increase to resist gravity. To do this, the electrons must move faster.

Explanation:

A white dwarf also known as degenerate dwarf is a star or an electron degenerate matter and is as massive as the Sun but only about as large in size as planet Earth.

The maximum mass of a white dwarf is about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.

Also, as the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must increase to resist gravity and to do this, the electrons must move faster.
