The visible star has an orbital speed of v=5.36x105 ms-1 and a mass of m1 =5Ms ,where Ms= 1.98x1030kg is the mass of our Sun. Moreover, the orbital period of the visible star is T = 30 hours.(a) What is the radius r1 of the orbit of the visible star?(b) Calculate the mass m2 of the black hole in terms of MS .

The mass of particle 1 is 4.1 kg and the mass ofparticle 2 is 4.51 kg. The particles are isolated so that only the forces between the particles are significant.

Assume the velocity at t = 0 is v(0) = v0, and that M, and u are constants. The burn rate is proportional to the mass of the rocket, as follows:α = -βm,where m is the current mass of the rocket (which is therefore time-dependent). This means that as less fuel is available to burn, then the fuel is burned at a lower rate. Write an expression for the mass of the fuel as a function of time. Now, write an expression for the velocity as a function of time for the rocket. A particular rocket burns fuel at a rate proportional to the mass of the fuel with the constant of proportionality being 6.4 1/s. The propellant speed is 5.1 m/s. The total mass of fuel is 136.4 kg.
