Awhite dwarf, which initially has a radius 3x10 m, is orbiting in a binary system and is accreting mass from its companion. during the accretion process, the mass increases from mo to a mass just beyond the chandrasekhar limit (1.4 mo), and the star collapses to form a neutron star of radius 10 m (a) at the time of collapse, how has the radius of the white dwarf changed from its initial value? (b) how much energy is released in the collapse? (c) a supernova releases about 1044j. compare this value to the one calculated above and comment (d) assuming the collapse produces a supernova, how efficient is the conversion of energy to photons? (e) how is the energy from the collapse released, if it is not all in photons?

(a) calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of 10.0 g. silver has 47 electrons per atom, and its molar mass is 107.87 g/mol. (b) imagine adding electrons to the pin until the negative charge has the very large value 1.00 mc. how many electrons are added for every 109 electrons already present
