In this problem, you will calculate the location of the center of mass for the Earth-Moon system, and then you will calculate th

e center of mass of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The mass of the Moon is 7.35×1022 kg , the mass of the Earth is 6.00×1024 kg , and the mass of the sun is 2.00×1030 kg . The distance between the Moon and the Earth is 3.80×105 km . The distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50×108 km
A.) Where is the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system? The radius of the Earth is 6378 km and the radius of the Moon is 1737 km. Select one of the answers below:

a. The center of mass is exactly in the center between the Earth and the Moon.
b. The center of mass is nearer to the Moon than the Earth, but outside the radius of the Moon.
c. The center of mass is nearer to the Earth than the Moon, but outside the radius of the Earth.
d. The center of mass is inside the Earth.
e. The center of mass is inside the Moon.
f.) Calculate the location of the center of mass of the Earth-Moon-Sun system during a full Moon. A full Moon occurs when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are lined up as shown in the figure. (Figure 2) Use a coordinate system in which the center of the sun is at x=0 and the Earth and Moon both lie along the positive x direction.

Answer:

a) Option D is correct.

The center of mass between the Eartg and the moon is inside the Earth.

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the moon = (7.35×10²²) kg

Mass of the Earth = (6.00×10²⁴) kg

Mass of the Sun = (2.00×10³⁰) kg

Distance between the Earth and the moon = (3.80×10⁵) km

Distance between the Earth and the Sun = (1.50×10⁸) km

With the assumption that all.of the bodies being considered are on the same straight line on the x-axis,

Note that Centre of mass is given as

C.M = (Σmx)/(Σm)

For the Earth-moon system, let the earth be x=0, then the moon is at x = (3.80 × 10 5) km away.

C.M = (Σmx)/(Σm)

Σmx = (6.00×10²⁴)) × (0) + (7.35×10²²) × (3.80×10⁵) = (2.793 × 10²⁸) kg.km

Σm = (6.00×10²⁴) + (7.35×10²²) = (6.0735 × 10²⁴) kg

CM = (2.793 × 10²⁸) ÷ (6.0735 × 10²⁴)

CM = (4.60 × 10³) km = 4600 km

This means the centre of mass is 4600 km from the Earth.

The Earth's radius = 6378 km

Hence, the centre if mass is inside the Earth.

Hope this Helps!!!

How do you calculate average speed?
Mila [183]

Divide
       (the distance covered in some period of time)
by
       (the time taken to cover the distance).

The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 =\frac{1L}{300K}× 100K= \frac{1}{3} × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L

A wave with a speed of 9 m/s and a frequency of 0.5 Hz has a λ of what?
patriot [66]

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

Wavelength = (wave speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (9 m/s) / (0.5 Hz)

<em>Wavelength = 18 m</em>
