The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 3 months. The line

s of both stars shift by equal amounts, and the amount of the Doppler shift indicates that each star has an orbital speed of 88,000 m/s. What are the masses of the two stars

Answer:

Explanation:

given

T = 3months = 7.9 × 10⁶s

orbital speed = 88 × 10³m/s

V= 2πr÷T

∴ r = (V×T) ÷ 2π

r = (88km × 7.9 × 10⁶s) ÷ 2π

r = 1.10 × 10⁸km

using kepler's 3rd law

mass of both stars = (seperation diatance)³/(orbital speed)²

M₁ + M₂ = (2r)³/(\frac{1}{4}year)²

= (1.06 × 10²⁵)/(6.2×10¹³)

1.71×10¹²kg

since M₁ = M₂ =1.71×10¹²kg ÷ 2

M₁ = M₂ = 8.55×10¹¹kg

Answer:

D) diffraction

Explanation:

Corona is an optical phenomenon produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight, as light moves through water droplets in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon produces one or more diffuse concentric rings of light around the Sun or Moon, usually seen as colored circles.

Therefore, the explanation for these phenomena of colored concentric circles, sometimes seen with the Sun or the Moon involves diffraction.

Satellite A has an orbital radius 3.00 times greater than that of satellite B. Satellite B's orbital period around Earth is 120
igomit [66]

Answer:

To find the circumference (orbit) of an object, you use Pi x Diameter. 

As you have the circumference of B, you divide it by Pi to get the Diameter. 

So 120 divided by 3.141592654 = 38.2 minutes for the Diameter. 

As' radius and Diameter will be 3x greater than B. 

38.2 x 3 = 114.6 

To get back to the orbital period, times 114.6 by Pi, and you will get 360 minutes
