Answer:

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Explanation:

Let suppose that planet and satellite can be treated as particles. The masses of Earth and Moon ( $m_{E}$ , $m_{M}$ ) are $5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg$ and $7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg$ , respectively. The distance between centers is 384,403 kilometers. The location of the center of mass can be found by using weighted averages:

$\bar x = \frac{x_{E}\cdot m_{E}+x_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}$

If $x_{E} = 0\,km$ and $x_{M} = 384,403\,km$ , then:

$\bar x = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)+(384,403\,km)\cdot (7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg}$

$\bar x = 4.673\,km$

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Complete Question

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Please help me with a speech.The topic of my speech is Passion.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Passion

For me, standing on the summit of Mt Everest was the result of following a process. The process of mountaineering. I love mountaineering. I am passionate about it. I love the months of planning for an expedition, the months of sweating and training to prepare my body physically. The meticulous preparation of my equipment. Most of all I love the huge mental challenge I have to overcome before each climb to confront my own fear. All these reasons are why I climb, they are why I climbed Mt Everest and that is why I continue to climb.

Passion is an enormously powerful force. It gives us the strength to get through hard times and setbacks. It gives us strength to overcome our fears, to ignore what other people think of us, to be disciplined and make sacrifices in pursuit of our dreams. Passionate people do not want to take shortcuts – they consider that ‘learning the process’ is an important part of the journey.

In mountaineering it’s easy to spot those who are not passionate about the process. They want to stand on top of the mountain but they are not really interested in the process of climbing the mountain. I feel for these people. Success without hard work is a hollow, empty feeling. They never last long in the sport.

Just as in life, successful mountaineers are the ones who are passionate. They are not there just to stand on the summit. Their passion gives them the energy to work the hardest, fight the longest, and in the words of Winston Churchill “never, never. never give-up”.

See the diagram above. Which of the following is the best prediction of what would happen if you increased the distance in secti

Inessa [10]

By the definition of wavelength, the answer is the letter D, the wavelength would decrease.

We can see in the diagram a wave motion.

A wave has some characteristics:

Has an amplitude, the distance from 0 to the crest (highest point in the y-direction, point (3) in the figure) it would see in the figure as (2)
Has wavelength, the distance between the crests.
Has a trough, the lowest point in the y-direction.

Now, if we increase the distance of the crests, by the definition shown above, we will increase the wavelength.

Therefore, the answer is letter D, the wavelength would increase.
