The two stars in a certain binary star system move in circular orbits. the first star, alpha, has an orbital speed of 36 km/s. the second star, beta, has an orbital speed of 12 km/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?

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.

1. when conducting a test on what kind of music increases the growth of plants, all of the following would fail to meet to fair test standard except (1 point) using different kinds of plants. giving some plants more water than others. exposing the plants to different types of music. using nutrient-rich soil for one and lesser soil for others. 2. engineering uses scientific thinking to solve real-world problems. (1 point) true false 3. what does it mean to test a hypothesis? (1 point) pass a quiz on other scientists’ results analyze only the results from scientific sources not make assumptions about how an experiment will turn out see if the results of an experiment are what the scientist predicted
