    Binary stars ,time period of orbit?

    Sorry, i can't understand even now. They'll be at a distance 2R apart.(i think) and the equation of motion is, \ddot{r}=\frac{L^{2}}{mr^{3}}-\frac{Gm}{2r^{2}} how can i solve this? I tried in terms of energy also. E=\frac{1}{2}m\dot{r}^{2}+\frac{L^{2}}{2mr^{2}}-\frac{Gm^{2}}{r}...

    What is the physical interpretation of the Lagrangian condition b2-ac ≠ 0?

    Homework Statement A Lagrangian for a particular physical system can be written as, L^{\prime }=\frac{m}{2}(a\dot{x}^{2}+2b\dot{x}\dot{y}+c\dot{y}^{2})-\frac{K% }{2}(ax^{2}+2bxy+cy^{2}) where a and b are arbitrary constants but subject to the condition that b2 -ac≠0.What are the...

    Binary stars ,time period of orbit?

    I didn't get it yet. :( \tau ^{2}=\frac{16\pi ^{2}R^{3}}{Gm}, by Kepler's law. then?

    Binary stars ,time period of orbit?

    Homework Statement A binary system consists of two stars of equal mass m orbiting each other in a circular orbit under the influence of gravitational forces. The period of the orbit is τ . At t = 0, the motion is stopped and the stars are allowed to fall towards each other. After what time t...

    What Are the Key Questions About Quantum Mechanics Fundamentals?

    ∂Homework Statement I've some doubts in the basic quantum mechanics.I know these are too simple. But can't figure out the exact answer. 1. Ordinary wave equation relates second order time derivative to second order space derivative.But Schrodinger equation connects first order time...

    What is the Parity of a System Described by a Wavefunction?

    How is that possible? is it bcz r^2 = x^2+y^2+z^2? But the reflection changes direction of vector also na? Can you please explain?

    What is the Parity of a System Described by a Wavefunction?

    Homework Statement The wavefunction describing state of a system is, \psi (r,\theta ,\phi )=\frac{1}{8\sqrt{\pi }}\left( \frac{1}{a_{0}}% \right) ^{3/2}\frac{r}{a_{0}}e^{-4/2a_{0}}\sin \theta e^{-i\phi } Find the parity of system in this state. The Attempt at a Solution \psi...

    Nuclear shell model spin and parity?

    In a book i saw tha spin parity of oxygen is found by considering proton number only.I want to confirm if it is so even when the proton shell is completely filled(ie, there's no unpaired proton).or do i need to consider neutron number?

    The question is: How can I find the magnetic field inside a long conductor?

    Yeah!now got it. Current density is constant. Ienc/∏r2= Itotal/∏α2
