Determine whether the center of mass of the system consisting of the earth and moon lies inside or outside the earth. Assume tha

t the radius of the earth is 6.37 x 10^3 km, the mass of the earth is 5.98 x 10^24 kg, the mass of the moon is 7.35 x10^22 kg, and the distance between the centers of the earth and the moon is 3.84 x 10^5 km. When computing the center of mass, consider the earth and the moon as point masses.

Answer:

R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The important concept of mass center defined by

         R_cm = 1 / M   ∑  x_i m_i

where M is the total mass, x_i and m_i are the position and masses of each body

Let's apply this expression to our case.

Let's set a reference frame where the axis points from the center of the Earth to the Moon,

       R_cm = 1 / M (m_earth 0 + m_moon d)

the total mass is

      M = m_earth + m_moon

     

the distance from the Earth is zero because all mass can be considered to be at its gravimetric center

let's calculate

      M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.35 10²²

      M = 6.0535 10₂⁴24 kg

we substitute

      R_cm = 1 / 6.0535 10²⁴ (0 + 7.35 10²² 3.84 )

      R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

Explain why water boiling in a container stops<br>boiling momentarily when the lid is removed​
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

It's because it tips over the threshold from nucleate boiling, which we can see, to convection boiling, which we can't. ... Even if the steam stayed in the pot, it would still stop boiling when you removed the heat. The steam and water in a liquid/vapour mixture are at the same temperature (100ºC).

Based on the replacement reaction, what would the products of the reaction be?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

\rm Be(OH)_2 and \rm (NH_4)_2 SO_4. The missing ion would be \rm OH^{-}.

Explanation:

In a double replacement reaction, two ionic compounds exchange their ions to produce two different ionic compounds.

In this question, the two ionic compounds are:

  • \rm BeSO_4, and
  • \rm NH_4 OH.

In particular,

  • \rm BeSO_4 is made up of \rm Be^{2+} ions and \rm {SO_4}^{2-} ions, while
  • \rm NH_4 OH is made up of \rm {NH_4}^{+} ions and \rm OH^{-} ions.

In a binary ionic compound, cations (positive ions) can only bond to anions (negative ions.)

  • \rm Be^{2+} is a cation. In \rm BeSO_4, \rm Be^{2+} was bounded \rm {SO_4}^{2-} anions. During the reaction, it bonds with \rm OH^{-} anions to produce \rm Be(OH)_2.
  • \rm {NH_4}^{+} is also a cation. In \rm NH_4 OH, \rm {NH_4}^{+} was bounded to \rm OH^{-} ions. During the reaction, it bonds with \rm {SO_4}^{2-} anions to produce \rm (NH_4)_2 SO_4.

Hence, the two products will be \rm Be(OH)_2 and \rm (NH_4)_2 SO_4.

Note that charges on the ions must balance. For example, a \rm Be^{2+} ion carries twice as much charge as an \rm {NH_4}^{+} ion. As a result, each \rm Be^{2+} ion would bond with twice as many \rm OH^{-} ions as \rm {NH_4}^{+} would in \rm NH_4 OH.

There are two uncharged objects, A and B. Some electrons move from A to B. How does the charge of the two objects change?
miskamm [114]
A becomes positive, while b is now negative. Basically, electrons are negative particles. If they go to somewhere, they make the somewhere they go to negative.
