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

A 5.00 kilogram block slides along a horizontal,frictionless surface at 10.0 meters per second. for 4.00 seconds. The magnitude
finlep [7]
In this question a lot of information's are provided. Among the information's provided one information and that is the time of 4 seconds is not required for calculating the answer. Only the other information's are required.
Mass of the block that is sliding = 5.00 kg
Distance for which the block slides = 10 meters/second
Then we already know that
Momentum = Mass * Distance travelled
                   = (5 * 10) Kg m/s
                   = 50 kg m/s
So the magnitude of the blocks momentum is 50 kg m/s. The correct option among all the given options is option "b".

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 25 feet. The wheel is rotating at two revolutions per minute. Find the linear speed, in feet per
svet-max [94.6K]
Linear velocity and angular velocity are related by the formula:
v = ωr

ω = n2πr/t, where n is the number of rotations, t is the time taken, r is the radius.
ω = 2 x 2π x 25/1
ω = 100π

v = 100π x 25
= 2500π feet per minute
