What is the distance from the center of the Moon to the point between Earth and the Moon where the gravitational pulls of Earth

and Moon are equal? The mass of Earth is 5.97 × 1024 kg, the mass of the Moon is 7.35 × 1022 kg, the center-to-center distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.84 × 108 m, and G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ∙ m2/kg2.

Answer:

r = 3.84 \times 10^7 m

Explanation:

Let say the distance at which gravitational force due to both Earth and moon is zero is given by force force balance

so it is given as

F_{moon} = F_{Earth}

\frac{GM_{moon}}{r^2} = \frac{GM_{earth}}{(d - r)^2}

so we have

\frac{M_{moon}}{r^2} = \frac{M_{earth}}{(d - r)^2}

\frac{7.35 \times 10^{22}}{r^2} = \frac{5.97 \times 10^{24}}{(3.84 \times 10^8 - r)^2}

now we have

\frac{2.71}{r} = \frac{24.4}{3.84\times 10^8 - r}

10.4 \times 10^8 - 2.71 r = 24.4 r

now we have

r = 3.84 \times 10^7 m

A quantity found by multiplying the force by the distance moved
Andrej [43]
The quantity that is calculated from the product of the force and the distance traveled due to the force is called work.  It has SI units of Joules (J) which is equivalent to Newton-meter (N-m). It is the energy that happens when an object is being moved by an external force.

What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 3.75 g and a volume of 3 mL?
valina [46]

Answer:

\displaystyle \rho=1.25\ g/ml

Explanation:

<u>Density </u>

The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume. The density varies with temperature and pressure.

The formula to calculate the density of a substance of mass (m) and volume (V) is:

\displaystyle \rho=\frac{m}{V}

The cube has a mass of m=3.75 g and a volume of V=3 ml, thus the density is:

\displaystyle \rho=\frac{3.75\ g}{3\ ml}

\boxed{\displaystyle \rho=1.25\ g/ml}

Since 1 kg=1000 mg and 1 lt = 1000 ml, the density has the same value but with different units:

\displaystyle \rho=1.25\ kg/l
