Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve In a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is |v | = 240 km/s and the orbital period of each is 12.5 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 times 1030 kg Your answer...

Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is |v vector| = 170 km/s and the orbital period of each is 14.5 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 times 10^30 kg.) 1.02e-9 If you...

For the following, quote your numerical answers to two significant figures: a) A binary system consists of two stars orbiting a common center of mass. Star A is a white star of mass MA = 2.02Mo, where Mo = 1.989 x 1030 kg is the mass of the Sun. Its companion, Star B, is a white dwarf with mass Mg = 0.978M. The orbital period of the two objects is observed to be t = 50.09 years. What is the...

Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in circular orbits around a fixed point half-way between them. This means that the masses of the two stars are equal (see the figure below). --- M If the orbital velocity of each star is v= 188 km/s and the orbital period of each is 11.7 days, calculate the mass Mof each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99x1030 kg.)

Binary Stars Q1) A binary star system has a distance from Earth of 42.2 light years. The distance between the stars is 1.08 x 101 m and the rotation period is 104 days. Assume equal masses of the stars, and circular orbits (centre of mass of the system is at rest relative to the Earth). a) Calculate the speed of the stars relative to the centre of mass of the system. Further assume the...
