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

Newton's first law of motion states that an object will keep a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced f
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The unbalanced force that caused the ball to stop was friction

Explanation:

As Newton's second law states, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on the object:

F=ma

therefore, in order to move at constant speed, an object should have a net force of zero (balanced forces) acting on it.

In this case, the ball slows down and eventually comes to a stop: it means that the ball is decelerating, so there are unbalanced forces (net force different from zero) acting on it. The unbalanced force acting on the ball is the friction: friction is a force against the motion of the object, which is due to the contact between the surface of the ball and the surface of the street, and this force is responsible for slowing down the ball.

A .5kg bird is perched on its nest so that it has 50J of potential energy. how far is it off the of the ground?
pshichka [43]

It is 10.20 m from the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

P. E = m \times g \times h

where m is the is mass in kg;  g  is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s  and  h  is height in meters.

PE is the Potential Energy.

Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.

Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

P. E = m \times g \times h

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h

50 = 4.9 × h

h = \frac {50} {4.9}

h = 10.20 m

In 1-2 sentences describe how your nose cleans the air you inhale.
svp [43]

Answer: Your nose inhales O2 and goes through these little nose hairs to keep stuff that doesn't belong in your airway, it goes through your nose into your lungs taking in O2 for your blood. The other substances that you have inhaled get absorbed elsewhere and it is converted into CO2 which is what you exhale.

How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 600.0 Newton engine 0.600 meters if you exerted 35.7 Newtons of for
muminat

Answer:

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pulley system can be given as follows:

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{In}}\\\\

where,

η = efficiency of pulley system = ?

W_out = Output Work = (600 N)(0.6 m) = 360 J

W_in = Input Work = (35.7 N)(11.43 m) = 408.051 J

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{360\ J}{408.051\ J}

<u>η = 0.882 = 88.2 %</u>
