What is the initial momentum of this binary star system? Estimate the system’s momentum one week later? Problem 1: A binary star system consists of stars, A and B, very far away from other stars, moving in a galaxy. Their masses are and . Their initial positions and velocities in a particular coordinate system are , , and . The magnitude of the gravitational force each start exerts on the other when they are in their initial positions is . 1.1 What principle(s)/concept(s) will you need to help solve the problem? momentum update, force of gravity 1.2 What assumption(s)/approximation(s) do you need to make to better help you solve the problem? *Gravity is the only force acting upon the system *friction is negligable 1.3 Identify your system (i.e. objects experiencing a change) and surroundings (i.e. objects causing the change).
