Two stars of masses M and m, separated by a distance d, revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass (Fig. P13.44). Show that each star has a period given by
Hunting a black hole. Observations of the light from a certain star indicate that it is part of a binary (two-star) system. This visible star has orbital speed v = 270 km/s, orbital period T= 15.0 days, and approximate mass m1 = 5.7M, where M, is the Sun's mass, 1.99 x 1030 kg. Assume that the visible star and its companion star, which is dark and unseen, are both in circular orbits (see the figure). Find the ratio of the approximate mass m2 of the dark star to Mg. Number i Units
A star has a mass of 1.03 x 1030 kg and is moving in a circular orbit about the center of its galaxy. The radius of the orbit is 2.4 x 104 light-years (1 light-year = 9.5 x 1015 m), and the angular speed of the star is 1.0 x 10-15 rad/s. (a) Determine the tangential speed of the star. (b) What is the magnitude of the net force that acts on the star to keep it moving around the center of the galaxy?
