Using the result that the central pressure in a star, of radius R and uniform density, under gravitational attraction is given by Pc = Gp² R², derive an expression for the radius Rwd of a white dwarf in terms of its mass M, in the case of nonrelativistic electron degeneracy. Using your result, briefly discuss the limitations of your expression for the radius, in the context of white dwarfs of increasing mass. Consider a white dwarf, mass M, radius Rwd and temperature T, consisting entirely of helium nuclei and electrons. Show that the internal thermal energy of the ions alone is given by 3 M Eth= -kT, 8 mp where mp is the proton mass. White dwarfs initially have a very high temperature when they form, and then cool by radi- ation. Derive a differential equation for the rate of change of the temperature…arrow_forwardIn Exercise 12.4 of your book, University Physics 15th edition (see End of the Chapter 12 section), what is the answer for sub-item (b) if the radius of the neutron star is 89.178 km?

- a)Define the term “standard candle” as used in cosmology. b)The flux is defined asf(Dlum) = L/4πD^2lumwhere L is the absolute luminosity and Dlum is the distance to the radiation source (youmay assume z ≪ 1).Assume that we have measured the flux to be f = 7.234 10^−23 Wm^−2 and the absoluteluminosity is given by L = 3.828 x10^26W. Calculate the luminosity distance D lum to the objectin Mpc.arrow_forwardI'm stumped on this question: A clump of matter does not need to be extraordinarily dense in order to have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light, as long as its mass is large enough. You can use the formula for the Schwarzschild radius RS to calculate the volume, 4/3 πRS^3, inside the event horizon of a black hole of mass M. What does the mass of a black hole need to be in order for its mass divided by its volume to be equal to the density of water (1g/cm^3)? I'm not sure where to begin in findng the answer. It feels as if I'm missing information.arrow_forwardIn Exercise 12.4, what is the answer for sub-item (b) if the radius of the neutron star is 70.617 km?

- Scientists are conducting an experiment to determine if their hypothesis that a certain constant in the universe is 1.65. the uncertainties in the experiment result in a relative uncertainty of no more than 2%. After several experimental trials, the scientists obtained an average value of 1.7 for the constant. What can be said about the scientists hypothesis? Hint calculate the percent error and compare it to the relative uncertainty.arrow_forwardQUESTION 10 In Exercise 12.4 of your book, University Physics 15th edition (see End of the Chapter 12 section), what is the answer for sub-item (b) if the radius of the neutron star is 10.408 km?
