Abinary star system consists of two equal mass stars that revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass. the period of the motion, t=25.5 days and the orbital speed =220 km/s of the stars can be measured from telescopic observations. what is the mass of each star?

Students design a model roller-coaster track. they place a rubber ball at the highest point on the track and let it go. the ball rolls along the track pulled only by the force of gravity. eventually, it comes to a stop. which change to the design will result in the ball moving the greatest distance?

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

Which body is in equilibrium? (1) a satellite orbiting earth in a circular orbit (2) a ball falling freely toward the surface of earth (3) a car moving with a constant speed along a straight, level road (4) a projectile at the highest point in its trajectory
