    Could Binary Planetary Systems Exist with Earth-Sized Bodies?

    <Hmm. I just realized that this post would be better suited for the "Celestial Mechanics" forum. Would you mind moving this post, since it appears that I am unable to do so myself without posting twice?> To begin with, does anyone know of the confirmed existence of or believe in the...

    Java Java AVL Tree Library: Simplifying Binary Search Trees for Student Storage

    [FONT=Century Gothic]Is there a library in java I can use to make AVL trees. See we have this project where we have to store students in a Binary search tree and then have access to their stuff... anyway is there a structure I can just import to be able to use it... or do I have to implement my...

    Convert octal to hex, w/out converting to Binary

    I have been trying to convert a from octal to hex and hex to octal without using binary. I believe the method is called repeated divison. Example of problem I am trying to solve, Convert 173 octal(123 dec) to hex 173 oct / 16 oct = 10 oct remainder 13 oct...

    Create 8-bit Binary Decoder Circuit w/3 Mechanical Switches

    How difficult would it be to create a circuit that uses 3 mechanical switches as inputs to light up 8 LEDs for the binary combinations? This is for my electric circuits class. I've done one for Logic class, but I was able to use Logic gates and some other extra equipment. So any hints on...

    Proof Involving Binary Operators

    I am trying to prove that A union (B intersection C) = (A union B) intersection (A union C). In other words, proving one of DeMorgan's Laws. I have gotten this far, and not sure if I'm right thus far: Let x belong to A union (B intersection C). Then x is in either A or in (B intersection C)...

    How many binary strings of length 10 contains exactly two 01?

    Hi all! I'm in serious need of some help. The question: How many binary strings of length 10 contains exactly two "01"? My idea was to weld together 4 bits to 2 "01". That way, there's \frac{8!}{2!} strings with at least 2 "01". But there are a bunch of strings with more than 2 "01" in...

    Will Gravitational Wave Detectors Challenge Current Theories on Binary Stars?

    Some "new" relaeases of interest also here in General Astronomy. Merits discussion in this forum too, I think. Go to PF post: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12315

    BINARY LAW of BACKGROUND RADIATION

    The idea of this work has appeared in 2002. At mathematical simulation of processes of mechanical resonance in classical objects of the ring form we have confronted with inexplicable effect. The computer program "drew" the graph of the smooth function with periodically iterating peaks. This...

    Kuiper Belt Binary Pairs: Existence Confirmed?

    i remember a referance to, binary pairs in the kuiper belt, i can not remember if a mass for the objects was given or orbital distance, my memory may be fading or wrong, can someone comfirm or dispute the existence of these objects?

    Calculating the Period of Binary Stars

    Hello. Two binary stars (m1 and m2) orbit each other around their center of mass. They orbit in circles of radii r1 and r2. I am to show that the period is given by T2=4pi2(r1+r2)3/(G(m1+m2)) The mutual force between m1 and m2 is F=Gm1m2/(r1+r2)2 Considering m1, the acceleration of m1 is...

    Calculating Mass of Equal-Mass Binary Star System

    suppose that a binary star system consists of two stars of equal mass. they are observed to be separated by 360 million km and to take 5.0 Earth years to orbit about a point midway between them. what is the mass of each? P. 135 "Physics: Principles With Applications" Fourth Edition. Giancoli...

    Is a*b = |ab| a Group Operation?

    [SOLVED] Binary Operations I believe I understand the critera to see of something is a "group" 1.It must be binary 2.It must be associative 3.Must contain a Identity 4.Must have a inverse My question is the how to read a problem. For example: All real numbers minus zero under the...

    Understanding "Sentential" Logic: Axioms, Notation & Binary Operations

    I came across this site: http://mally.stanford.edu/tutorial/sentential.html It lists four axioms of "sentential" logic. I first would like to know if there are other axioms not listed here. Wouldn't you need some axiom like if P is true, then ~P is false? It seems difficult to prove the law...
