The two stars in a certain binary star system move in circular orbits. the first star, alpha, has an orbital speed of 36.0 km/s. the second star, beta, has an orbital speed of 12.0km/s. the orbital period is 137 d.
(a)what is the mass of the star alpha?
(b)what is the mass of the star beta?
(c)one of the best candidates for a black hole is found in the binary system called a0620-0090. the two objects in the binary system are an orange star, v616 monocerotis, and a compact object believed to be a black hole. the orbital period of a0620-0090 is 7.75hours, the mass of v616 monocerotis is estimated to be 0.67 times the mass of the sun, and the mass of the black hole is estimated to be 3.8 times the mass of the sun. assuming that the orbits are circular, find the radius of the orbit of the orange star.
(d)find the radius of the orbit of the black hole.
(e)find the orbital speed of the orange star.
(f)find the orbital speed of the black hole.

3. a worker pushes a 30.5 kg polished stone along a polished table with a force on bonin a straight line for 5.20 s after starting from rest. there is no friction between thestone and the table. at the end of the table. the stone is hooked to a cable with a lengthof 62.0 cm to rotate it to a rough table to store until they can be picked up. the roughtable has a coefficient of static friction 0.702 with the polished stone. remember that 8= 9.80 m/s2a) what is the speed of the stone when it is hooked to the cable? b) what is the tension in the cable while the stone is rotating? (there is still nofriction)c) how much force is needed to make the stone begin sliding from rest on therough table? ius = 0.70262.0 cm30.5 kg20.5 kg6= 0
