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

Listed following is a set of statements describing individual stars or characteristics of stars. Match these to the appropriate
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Red giant or super giant → very cool but very luminous

                                      → found in the upper right of the H-R diagram.

Main sequence →The majority of stars in our galaxy

                        → Sun, for example

                        → a very hot and very luminous star

White dwarfs → very hot but very dim

                     → not much larger in radius than earth  

Explanation:

Giant:

When the stars run out of their fuel that is hydrogen for the nuclear fusion reactions then they convert into Giant stars.That's why they are very cool. Giant stars have the larger radius and luminosity then the main sequence stars.

Main Sequence:

Stars are called main sequence stars when their core temperature reaches up to 10 million kelvin and their start the nuclear fusion reactions of hydrogen into helium in the core of the star. That is why they are very hot and luminous. For example sun is known as to be in the stage of main sequence as the nuclear fusion reactions are happening in its core.

White dwarfs:

When the stars run out of their fuel then they shed the outer layer planetary nebula, the remaining core part that left behind is called as white dwarf. It's the most dense part as the most of the mass is concentrated in this part.

A 15 n force directed to the west acts on an object for 3.0 seconds, what is the change in momentum of the object?
pickupchik [31]
By definition we have that
 force=dP/dt,
 where
 p is momentum
 so
 <span>momentum is force*time
 p= 15*3 = 45 Ns , west.
 </span><span>the change in momentum of the object is 45 N.s</span>

Why is specific heat important
Ad libitum [116K]
Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit substance!. The most common example!. The specific heat of water is 1 !. And, lot of plays and animals live under the water and if the specific heat of the water would be low, then the aquatic organisms would die, but the specific heat is high and it is hard for the sun to increase the temperature!.

Hope my answer helps!
