g In a certain binary-star system, each star has the same mass which is 8.2 times of that of the Sun, and they revolve about the

ir center of mass. The distance between them is the 6.2 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. What is their period of revolution in years?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Third Law of Kepler.

Kepler's third law tells us that the period is defined as

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2GM}

The given data are given with respect to known constants, for example the mass of the sun is

m_s = 1.989*10^{30}

The radius between the earth and the sun is given by

r = 149.6*10^9m

From the mentioned star it is known that this is 8.2 time mass of sun and it is 6.2 times the distance between earth and the sun

Therefore:

m = 8.2*1.989*10^{30}

d = 6.2*149.6*10^6

Substituting in Kepler's third law:

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2}

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30 )}

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30)}}

T = 120290789.7s

T = 120290789.7s(\frac{1year}{31536000s})

T \approx 3.8143 years

Therefore the period of this star is 3.8years

A proton moves in the negative x-direction through a uniform magnetic field in the negative y-direction what is the direction of
ANEK [815]

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction. The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the right-hand thumb rule?</h3>

Hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current then wrap your fingers around the conductor and orient them in the direction of the magnetic field lines.

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction.

The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page.

Hence, option B is correct.

Why is water considered to be a complex compound
DedPeter [7]
HEY THERE !!

\huge{COMPOUND:-}
Compounds contain two or more different elements. 


Water is a molecule because it contains molecular bonds . Water is also a compound  because it is made from more than one kind of element. (oxygen and hydrogen).

So If you like, you can say that water is a molecular compound.

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
klio [65]

If the applied force is in the same direction as the object's displacement, the work done on the object is:

W = Fd

W = work, F = force, d = displacement

Given values:

F = 45N

d = 12m

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 45(12)

W = 540J

After a great many contacts with the charged ball, how is the charge on the rod arranged (when the charged ball is far away)?
faust18 [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.

Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.

Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.
