Find the location of the center of mass of the earth-moon system relative to the center of earth.

Physics

Answer:

4765 Km

Explanation:

The center of mass for a two point system is given by the formula:

CM=  (mass  earth x distance of cm to centre of earth +  mass moon x distance of cm to moon ) / mass earth + mass moon

mass earth:  5.97 x 10^24 Kg

mass moon:  7.35 x 10^22 Kg

distance earth-moon = 384,400 Km : 3.84 x 10^6 m

The center of mass will be located between the line distance joining the earth moon but since we are told to calculate relative to the center of earth ,the distance from earth to the center of mass is cero making our calculations easier.

CM = (5.97 x 10 ^24 x 0 + 7.35 x 10 ^22 x 3.84 x 10 ^6 )/ (5.97 x 10^24 + 7.35 x 10^22)

CM=  7.35 x 10 ^22 x 3.84 x 10 ^6/ ( 6.04 x 10 ^24) m  =  4.765 x 10 ^6 m = 4765 Km

Tridil is infusing at 15 ml/hr on an infusion pump. The drug is mixed 50 mg in 500 ml D5W. How many MCG/minute is the patient re
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

patient receiving drug 25 MCG/minute

Explanation:

given data

infusing = 15 ml/hr

drug = 50 mg

D5W = 500 ml

to find out

How many MCG/minute

solution

we know infusing rate is 15 ml/hr = 0.25 ml/min

so 0.25 ml drug content = 50 /500 × 0.25

0.25 ml drug content = 0.025 mg

so here

rate of drug will be 0.025 mg

rate of drug = 0.025 mg = 25 ×10^{-6} gm/min

rate of drug = 25 MCG/minute

so patient receiving drug 25 MCG/minute

So far, you’ve been working with an "ideal" pulley system. How do you think real pulley systems are different, and how would tha
almond37 [142]

Answer:

In an ideal pulley system is assumed as a perfect system, and the efficiency of the pulley system is taken as 100% such that there are no losses of the energy input to the system through the system's component

However, in a real pulley system, there are several means through which energy is lost from the system through friction, which is converted into heat, sound, as well as other forms of energy

Given that the mechanical advantage = Force output/(Force input), and that the input force is known, the energy loss comes from the output force which is then reduced, and therefore, the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) is less than the Ideal Mechanical Advantage of an "ideal" pulley system

The relationship between the actual and ideal mechanical advantage is given by the efficiency of the pulley system as follows;

Efficiency \, \% = \dfrac{AMA}{IMA}  \times 100
