Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1VSC
To determine
The time is taken by the star and the planet to complete one orbit around their center of mass.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1VSC
Solution:
The time taken is 5 days.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The below figure shows the periodic variations in the Doppler shift of a star caused by a planet orbiting around it. Positive velocities mean the star is moving away from the Earth and negative velocities mean that the star is moving towards Earth.
The orbital period for a planet detected by the Doppler method, the time between two points with the same velocity and slope in the velocity-time curve.
From the velocity-time graph, we find this time period to be 5 days.
Conclusion:
It takes 5 days for the star and the planet to complete one orbit around their center of mass.

Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as in the figure below. The helper spring engages when the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, and then helps to
support any additional load. Consider a leaf spring constant of 5.45 × 105 N/m, helper spring constant of 3.60 × 105 N/m, and y = 0.500 m.
