The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

A truck is driving over a scale at a weight station. When the front wheels drive over the scale, the scale reads 5800 N. When th
aev [14]

Answer:

x_2=1.60m

Explanation:

From the Question We are told that

Initial Force F_1=5800N

Final Force F_2=6500N

Distance between the front and rear wheels \triangle x=3.20 m

Since

 \triangle x=3.20 m

Therefore

 x_1+x_2=3.20

 x_1=3.20-x_2

Generally the equation for The center of mass is at x_2 is mathematically

given by

 x_2 =\frac{(F_1x_1+F_2x_2)}{(F_1+F_2)}

 x_2=3.20F_1-\frac{x_2F_1+F_2x_2}{(F_1+F_2)}

 2*F_1*x_2 =3.20F_1

 x_2=1.60m
