No nuclear reactions occur in the interior of a white dwarf. its brilliance comes from stored heat. therefore, the fate of an isolated white dwarf is to slowly lose its stored energy and dim over a long period of time. however, if a white dwarf is a member of a binary-star system with specific properties, the white dwarf can become explosively active. label the components of such a binary-star system capable of producing a nova event.

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. you see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. it appears that the central maximum is about 1 cm across and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 3 m. what is (a) the average wavelength of sunlight? (b) the diameter of the pinhole?

For problems 1-3, consider a simple dc brush motor with a permanent magnet stator. with an an consider a simple dc brush motor with a permanent magnet ae supply voltage of 100 v, the no-load speed of the motor is 1000 rpm. this motor can provide a torque of 1.9 n-m at 800 rpm drawing a current of 2 a current are both zero at no load.) 1. with an armature supply voltage of 100 v, the motor is operated at 900 rpm. what is the motor torque? what is the mechanical power delivered by the motor? what is the current draw? what is the electrical power input? what is the energy efficiency of the motor? with an armature supply voltage of 100 v, the motor is operated at 1100 rpm (where it acts as a generator). what torque input is required? what mechanical power is required what current is generated? what is the electrical power generated? what is the energy efficiency of the motor acting as a generator? 2. with an armature supply voltage raised to 120 v, the motor is operated at 1000 rpm. what is the no-load speed? what is the motor torque? what is the mechanical power delivered by the motor? what is the current draw? what is the electrical power input what is the energy efficiency of the motor? 3.
