One way for a family to determine their energy use is by analyzing their electric bill each month. Most energy bills include a g

raph displaying energy use over the last 12 months. This allows people to consider their energy use and make adjustments if needed. Mr. Hernandez noticed his family's usage for this December was about the same as last December, even though they were gone on vacation for about a week and a half this year. Since they were not home for a portion of the month, he expected their energy usage would be significantly lower. He calls a family meeting to discuss how they can reduce their energy bill next December, when they take another family vacation.
Which idea will reduce their energy usage the most, while also reasonable to follow?
A) For the time they are home during December, cook meals outside on the charcoal grill instead of inside with the electric stove/oven.
B) When they return from their trip, leave the television off for a week, and hang clothes up outside to dry instead of using their electric dryer.
C) Before leaving for their trip, turn the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances that will not be in use.
D) While they are home in December, they can use candles instead of electric lights, and put their food in coolers so they can unplug their refrigerator.

Answer:

C)Before leaving for their trip, turn the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances.

Explanation:

Although, the other three options will also reduce their electricity bill but they do not explain why Mr. Hernandez's family got same electricity bill as last year even though this time they were not home for one and a half week. Also, A), B) and D) ideas are not reasonable.

So, the only conclusion is that even when they were on a vacation. the electrical appliances in their home were on. That's why the bill remained the same.

The idea of turning the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances before they leave for the trip will help reduce the energy usage. Also, it is reasonable.

Inertia is directly related to Mass .

<u>Explanation</u>:  

Mass means that the amount of matter of an object. Inertia indicates the resistance of the physical object. The object with high mass have more inertia too. The mass and inertia both are directly proportional to each other. Mass is the quantity that completely depends upon the inertia of the object. An object with more mass has more chance to change its resistance as they are dependent on each other.

The mass of the earth is 5.98 1024 kg, the mass of the moon is 7.36 1022 kg, and the distance between the centers of the earth a
Setler [38]

Answer:

 x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The center of mass is given by the equation

         x_{cm} = 1 / M_{total}  ∑ x_{i}  m_{i}

Where M_{total} is the total masses of the system, x_{i} is the distance between the particles and m_{i} is the masses of each body

Let's apply this equation to our problem

        M = Me + m

        M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.36 10²²

        M = 605.36 10²² kg

Let's locate a reference system located in the center of the Earth

Let's calculate

       x_{cm} = 1 / 605.36 10²²   [Me 0 + 7.36 10²² 3.82 10⁸]

       x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m
