Two stars of masses M and m, separated by a distance d, revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass (Fig. P11.50). Show that each star has a period given by T2=42d3G(M+m) Proceed as follows: Apply Newtons second law to each star. Note that the center-of-mass condition requires that Mr2 = mr1, where r1 + r2 = d.
The Sun’s mass is 2.01030kg , its radius is 7.0105km , and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. If the Sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.5103km , what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the Sun both before and after?

A ball weighing 800 grams and having a radius of 2cm moves in the direction of the positive x-axis at a speed of 5m/s. It collides with another stationary ball weighing 500 grams and also having a radius of 2cm.

Determine the velocity of the heavier ball after the collision and calculate the amount of energy lost during the collision.
