Astronomers discover a bright X-ray source in the Milky Way. They see no counterpart in the optical bands, but it has another star orbiting it, and they determine that the X-ray source has a mass of 10 MSun. What is the most likely origin of the X-rays? a. a black hole
b. a neutron star
c. a white dwarf
d. a gamma-ray burst

If gases like carbon dioxide and methane make up less than 1% of the total atmosphere, why is it important for scientists to monitor changes in percentages of these gases?

Imagine an isolated positive point charge q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). there is a charged particle a (whose charge is much smaller than charge q) at a distance from the point charge q. on which of the following quantities does the magnitude of the electric field created by charge q at particle a's position depend? check all that apply.the type of the charge on the charged particle athe relative orientation between q and a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the specific location of the charged particle a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the amount of the charge on the point charge qthe specific location of the point charge q (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the distance between the point charge q and the charged particle athe amount of the charge on the charged particle a

You can melt ice by applying pressure because the solid/liquid line has a slope.
