Hi there,
To get started, recall the kinematic equations from either a textbook, equation sheet, etc. Kinematic equations are used when acceleration is <em>constant,</em> as stated in the prompt.
Best way to use kinematic equations is to see which variable you are looking for, then which variable is unknown to you and is not needed for that equation.
a) average velocity
Takes the form of:
this is the literal definition of average velocity; initial plus final divided by 2.
We know total displacement and total time elapsed, so we will use the middle form of the equation:
b) the final velocity
We can still use the average velocity formula, as the other two equations that include final velocity have acceleration variable which is unknown as of now.
Solve for final velocity:
this makes sense, since a velocity later in time is higher than a velocity earlier in time. It is increasing with increasing time because of acceleration.
c) the acceleration
There are two equations that can be used to solve this, but we will use the less time-consuming one, but both produce same answer:
Notice, change in velocity over change in time, and acceleration is constant. When acceleration is constant, it models a linear function, and acc. is just slope!

Answer:
The center of mass of the Earth–Moon system is 4.613 × 10⁶ m from center of the Earth.
Explanation:
Let the reference point be the center of the Earth
Where;
Xcm is the distance from center of the Earth =?
Me is the mass of the Earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg
Xe is the center mass of the Earth = 0
Mm is the mass of the moon = 7 × 10²² kg
Xm is the center mass of the moon = 4 × 10⁸ m
Therefore, the center of mass of the Earth–Moon system is 4.613 × 10⁶ m from center of the Earth.
