(1) You must find the point of equilibrium between the two forces,

<span>G * <span><span><span>MT</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>(R−x)^2 </span></span>= G * <span><span><span>ML</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>x^2
MT / (R-x)^2 = ML / x^2

So,

x = R * sqrt(ML * MT) - ML / (MT - ML)
R = is the distance between Earth and Moon.

</span></span></span>The result should be,
x = 3.83 * 10^7m
from the center of the Moon, and 

R - x = 3.46*10^8 m
from the center of the Earth.


(2) As the distance from the center of the Earth is the number we found before,
d = R - x = 3.46*10^8m
The acceleration at this point is
g = G * MT / d^2
g = 3.33*10^-3 m/s^2

A meteorologist tracks the movement of a thunderstorm with Doppler radar. At 8:00pm the storm was 55 mi northeast of her station
Rus_ich [418]
At 8:00 pm, the velocity of the storm is 55 mi northeast. Assuming that the direction is exactly northeast, the angle is 45°
At 11:00 pm, the velocity is 75 mi north. The angle is 90°
In vector form
55 ∠ 45°
and
75 ∠ 90°
The magnitude and direction of the average velocity is
(55 ∠ 45° + 75 ∠ 90° ) / 3

I need help ASAP plzzzz
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

a) 1.75s b) 17.2 m/s (down)

Explanation:

d1= 15m d2= 0m (because it hits ground)

a= -9.81 m/s^2 t=???

Equation

the triangle means change in so d2-d1

Δd= v1 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

0m-15m= v1*t + 1/2 a t^2

-15 m= 0m/s*t (goes away) + 1/2* a *t^2

-15mx2= t^2

-15mx2/a= t^2

Square root (-30/-9.81m/s^2)

t=1.75 s

b) now v2!!

Im going to use v2= v1 + a*t

v2= 0m/s + -9.81 x 1.75s

v2 = -17.2 m/s or you can say 17.2 m/s down!!!
