The two stars in a binary star system have masses 2.2×1030 kg and 5.8×1030 kg . They are separated by 2.3×1012 m .
What is the system's rotation period, in years?
What is the speed of the lightest star?
What is the speed of the heaviest star?
Alright Dude, If that worked for you... don't forget to give
THUMBS UP.(that will work for me!)

atleast before giving down vote.
and, Thanks for using Chegg- Smarter way to study.
The two stars in a binary star system have masses 2.2×1030 kg and 5.8×1030 kg ....
Help! The two stars in a binary star system have masses 2.0 times 10^30 kg and 5.8 times 10^30 kg. They are separated by 1.7 times 10^12 m. What is the system's rotation period, in years? What is the speed of the lightest star? What is the speed of the heaviest star?
Two stars with masses 2.75 x 1030 kg and 5.92 x 1030 kg form a binary system. If the two stars have an average separation of 5.96
In a double-star system, two stars of mass 4.0 x 1030 kg each rotate about the system's center of mass at radius 1.8 x 1011 m. (a) What is their common angular speed? (b) If a meteoroid passes through the system's center of mass perpendicular to their orbital plane, what minimum speed must it have at the center of mass if it is to escape to "infinity" from the two-star system? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
Need help with this problem. Thanks. 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...
A binary star system has two stars, each with the same mass as our sun, separated by 1.50×1012 m . A comet is very far away and essentially at rest. Slowly but surely, gravity pulls the comet toward the stars. Suppose the comet travels along a straight line that passes through the midpoint between the two stars. What is the speed at the comet's midpoint?
op 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...
A certain binary star system consists of two stars with masses m1 and m2, separated by a distance b. A comet, originally nearly at rest in deep space, drops into the system and at a certain point in time arrives at the midpoint between the two stars. For that moment in time, find its velocity, v, symbolically in terms of b, m1, m2, and fundamental constants. p
A uniform, spherical cloud of interstellar gas has mass 2.2×1030 kg and radius 9.0×1012 m , and is rotating with period 1.5×106 years. If the cloud collapses to form a star 7.4×108 m in radius, what will be the star's rotation period?
4) A binary star system consists of two stars, one of which is 1 solar mass and one of which is 2 solar masses. They are separated by a distance of 5 astronomical units and have approximately circular orbits. a) What is the orbital period of each star? b) What is the orbital velocity of each star? c) What is the angular momentum of the two star system, assuming that each star's radius is much smaller than its orbital radius?
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...
