Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

a) the mass of the star Alpha is $M_{\alpha}$ = $7.80*10^{29} kg$

b) the mass of the star Beta is $M_{\beta}$ = $2.34*10^{30}kg$

c) the radius of the orbit of the orange star $R_{0}$ = $1.9*10^{9}m$

d) the radius of the orbit of the black hole $R_{B} = 34*10^{8}m$

e) the orbital speed of the orange star $V_{0} = 4.4*10^{2}km/s$

f) the orbital speed of the black hole $V_{B} =77 km/s$

Explanation:

The generally formula for orbital speed is given as $v =\frac{2\pi R}{T}$

where v is the orbital speed

R is the radius of the star

T is the orbital period

From the question we are given that

alpha star has an orbital speed of $V_{\alpha} = 36km/s = 36000m/s$

beta star has an orbital speed of $V_{\beta} = 12km/s = 12000m/s$

the orbital period is T = 137d = 137(86400)sec 1 day is equal 86400 seconds

Making R the subject of formula we have for the radius of the alpha star as

$R_{\alpha} =\frac{V_{\alpha}T}{2\pi} =\frac{2*(86400s)*137*(36000m/s)}{2\pi}$

$=6.78*10^{10}m$

for the radius of the Beta star as

$R_{\beta} =\frac{V_{\alpha}T}{2\pi} =\frac{2*(86400s)*137*(12000m/s)}{2\pi}$

$= 2.26*10^{10}m$

Looking at the value obtained for $R_{\alpha} and R_{\beta}$

Generally the moment about the center of the mass are equal then

$M_{\alpha} R_{\alpha} = M_{\beta}R_{\beta}$

Thus $3M_{\alpha} = M_{\beta} -------(1)$

Generally the formula for the orbital period is given as

$T =\frac{2\pi(R_{\alpha+R_{\beta}})^{3/2 }}{\sqrt{G(M_{\alpha}+M_{\beta})} }$

Then

$M_{\alpha}+M_{\beta} =\frac{4\pi^{2}(R_{\alpha}+R_{\beta})^{3}}{T^{2}G}$

Where G is the gravitational constant given as $6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

$M_{\alpha}+M_{\beta} =\frac{4\pi^{2}(6.78*10^{10}m +2.26*10^{10}m)^{2}}{(137d*86400s/d)^{2}(6.67*10^{-11}m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2})}$

$M_{\alpha} + M_{\beta} = 3.12*10^{30}kg -------(2)$

Thus solving (1) and (2) equations

Mass of alpha star is $M_{\alpha}=7.80*10^{29}kg$

and the Mass of Beta is $M_{\beta} =2.34*10^{30}kg$

Considering the equation

$M_{\alpha}+M_{\beta} =\frac{4\pi^{2}(R_{\alpha}+R_{\beta})^{3}}{T^{2}G}$

Making $R_{\alpha} + R_{\beta}$ the subject

$R_{\alpha}+ R_{\beta} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(M_{\alpha+M_{\beta}})T^{2}G}{4\pi^{2}} } -------(3)$

and considering this equation $M_{\alpha} R_{\alpha} = M_{\beta}R_{\beta}$ from above

we have that $R_{\beta} =\frac{M_{\alpha}R_{\alpha}}{M_{\beta}}$

Considering Question C

Let the Orange star be denoted by (0) and

Let the black-hole be denoted by (B)

And we are told from the question that

Mass of orange star $M_{0} = 0.67M_{sun}$ and

Mass of black hole $M_{B} =3.8M_{sun}$

And mass of sun is $M_{sun} = 1.99*10^{30}kg$

Then $R_{B} = [\frac{0.67M_{sun}}{3.8M_{sun}} ]R_{0} =0.176R_{0}--------(4)$

We are also given that the period is T =7.75 days = 7.75 (86400s)

Considering equation 3

$R_{0} + 0.176R_{0} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{(0.67+3.8)(1.99*10^{30}kg)(7.75(86400s))^{2} 6.67*10^{-11}Nm^{2}/s^{2}}{4\pi ^{2}} }$

Thus for V616 Monocerotis, $R_{0} =1.9*10^{9}m$

Considering equation 4

The black-hole is

$R_{B}= 0.176R_{0}= 0.176*1.9*10^9 =34*10^8m$

From the formula for velocity of $V_{0} = \frac{2\pi R_{0}}{T} = 4.4*10^{9}km/s$

the velocity of $V_{B} = \frac{2\pi R_{B}}{T} =77km/s$

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
