Answer:

C) The Earth-Moon CM follows the orbit around the Sun. Earth and Moon rotate around their CM. The radius of rotation of Moon around the CM is much greater than radius of rotation of Earth around the CM.

Explanation:

At first we assume that both Earth and Moon can be treated as particles, the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is obtained by using this formula:

r_{CM} = \frac{r_{E}\cdot m_{E}+r_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}} (Eq. 1)

Where:

r_{E} - Location of the center of the Earth, measured in kilometers.

r_{M} - Location of the Moon, measured in kilometers.

r_{CM} - Location of the center of mass, measured in kilometers.

m_{E} - Mass of the Earth, measured in kilograms.

m_{M} - Mass of the Moon, measured in kilograms.

If we know that r_{E} = 0\,km, r_{M} = 3.84\times 10^{8}\,m, m_{E} = 5.98\times 10^{24}\,kg and m_{M} = 7.35\times 10^{22}\,kg, the location of the center of mass respect to the Earth is:

r_{CM} = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.98\times 10^{22}\,kg)+(3.84\times 10^{8}\,m)\cdot (7.35\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.98\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.35\times 10^{22}\,kg}

r_{CM} = 4.662\times 10^{6}\,m

The Earth has a radius of 6.371\times 10^{6} meters, we notice that center of mass in located inside the Earth and the radius of rotation of the Earth around the center of mass is much greater than the radius of rotation of the Moon around the center of mass. That center of mass follows an orbit around the sun.

In consequence, correct answer is C.

Answer:

32000joule.

Explanation:

given

mass. (m)=160kg

speed (v)=20m/s

now

kinetic energy =1/2 (mv²)=1/2 ×{160×20²}=32000joule.

One end of a metal rod is in contact with a thermal reservoir at 745. K, and the other end is in contact with a thermal reservoi
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a)S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)S_2=71.18\ J/K

c) 0 J/K

d)S= 61.53 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 745 K

T₂ = 101 K

Q= 7190 J

a)

The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

S_1=-\dfrac{7190}{745}\ J/K

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)

The entropy change of reservoir 101 K

S_2=\dfrac{7190}{101}\ J/K

S_2=71.18\ J/K

c)

The entropy change of the rod will be zero.

d)

The entropy change of the system

S= S₁ + S₂

S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K

S= 61.53 J/K

A machinist is required to manufacture a circular metal disk with area 1900 cm2. (a) What radius produces such a disk? (Round yo
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

24.5987 cm

Explanation:

A = 1900 cm^2

Let r be the radius of disc.

The area of disc is given by

A = π r²

Where, π = 31.4

1900 = 3.14 x r²

r² = 605.095

r = 24.5987 cm

Melanie gets out of her car at the park. She walks 25 m to the trail entrance.
zhenek [66]

The reference point that should be used to describe Melanie motion is the pond (option C).

<h3>What is reference point?</h3>

Reference point is a particular point in space which is used as an endpoint to measure a distance from or chart a map from.

According to this question, Melanie gets out of her car at the park and walks 25 m to the trail entrance. She jogs around the trail until she reaches a pond, where she stops briefly.

However, she then continues to follow the trail around the pond. This suggests that the pond should serve as the reference point for Melanie's motion.
