Answer:

4674568 m or 4675 km

Explanation:

Let x be the distance from the center of the mass system to the center of the earth. This means the distance from the center of the mass system to the center of the moon is $3.85*10^8 - x$ . For the masses to balance out, we have the following equation:

$m_e*x = m_m*(3.85*10^8 - x)$

where $m_e$ is the mass of Earth, and $m_m$ is mass of the moon

$5.98 * 10^{24}x = 7.35*10^{22}(3.85*10^8 - x)$

We can divide both sides by $10^{22}$

$598x = 7.35*3.85*10^8 - 7.35x$

$605.35x = 2829750000$

$x = 2829750000/605.35 \approx 4674568 m$ or 4675 km

Can someone help me wit hthis science question?

klemol [59]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

There is an increasing demand for materials and natural resources from a growing global population, especially those in more economically developed countries. The world's resources are being used up more quickly. The consumption of resources is spread unequally between MEDCs (more economically developed countries), who use more resources, and LEDCs (less economically developed countries), who use less.

The gap between the rich and poor is more evident when the resources are shared so unevenly and unfairly and natural resources like materials and natural energy cannot reach the demand of the people which can have consequences and be very difficult to manage. Having a lack of these materials in a country can result in prices going up for them, and the industry could be harder to work in because of a lack of materials.

A 6.0-kilogram block, sliding to the east across a horizontal, frictionless surface with a momentum of 30.0 kilogram · meters pe

Lina20 [59]

The final speed of the block after the collision with the obstacle is $\boxed{3.33\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the block is $6.0\,{\text{kg}}$ .

The initial momentum of the block is $30\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}$ .

The impulse imparted by the obstacle is $10\,{\text{N}} \cdot {\text{s}}$ .

Concept:

The block is sliding towards east and the impulse imparted by the obstacle is towards the obstacle is towards west on the block. It means that the impulse exerted by the obstacle will reduce the momentum of the block.

According to the impulse momentum theorem, the rate of change of momentum of the body is equal to the impulse imparted to the body.

The expression for the impulse momentum theorem is.

${p_f} - p{ & _i} = I$ …… (1)

Substitute $30\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}$ for ${p_i}$ and $- 10\,{\text{N}} \cdot {\text{s}}$ for $I$ in equation (1).

$\begin{aligned}{p_f} &= - 10\,{\text{N}} \cdot {\text{s}} + 30\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} \\&= 20\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\\end{aligned}$

The final momentum of the block can be expressed as:

${p_f} = m{v_f}$ …… (2)

Substitute $20\text{kg}\;\text{m/s}$ for ${p_f}$ and $6.0\,{\text{kg}}$ for $m$ in equation (2).

$\begin{aligned}20 &= 6 \times {v_f} \\ {v_f}&= \frac{{20}}{6}\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\&= 3.33\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} \\ \end{aligned}$

Thus, the final speed of the block after the collision with the obstacle is $\boxed{3.33\;\text{m/s}}$ .

Is it accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Yes, it is <span>accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy. Some people might argue about the dark matter, but it is not yet defined properly. Different universes can be made up of different compositions but it is a fact that our universe is made of matter and energy. </span>
