Answer:

R_{cm}  = 4.688 106 m

Explanation:

The expression for the center of mass is

       R cm = 1 / M ∑ r_{i} m_{i}

Where M is the total mass of the system, ri and m1 are the distance and mass of each particle from a defined origin

Let's look for the total mass, the mass of the moon is m and that of the earth Me

    M = M_{e} + m

    M = 81m + m

    M = 82 m

The distance from the earth to the moon is R = 384.4 106 m

    R_{cm} = 1 / M (M R1 + m R)

   R_{cm}  = 1 / 82m (0 + m R)

    R_{cm}  = R / 82

   R_{cm}  = 384.4 106/82

   R_{cm}  = 4.688 106 m

The radius of the earth is

    R_{e} = 6371 103 m

    R_{e}  = 6.371 106 m

We can see that the center of mass of the system is within the beating radius

The electric field strength between the plates of a simple air Capacitor is equal to the voltage across the plates divided by th
exis [7]

Answer:

d=\frac{112\,V}{1100\,\frac{V}{cm}} \\d=\frac{28}{75} \,cm=0.101818..  \,cm

Explanation:

Recall that the equation for the electric field intensity between the plates of a capacitor is given by:

E=\frac{\Delta V}{d}

where E is the electric field, \Delta V is the voltage across the plate of the capacitor, and "d" is the separation (distance) between the capacitor's plates.

So we need to solve for the distance in the equation above, but also make sure that the units for electric field and potential difference are in agreement. We then write the electric field strength in V/cm :

1.1kV/cm = 1100 V/cm

Now in the equation:

E=\frac{\Delta V}{d}\\1100\,\frac{V}{cm} =\frac{112\,V}{d\\}\\d=\frac{112\,V}{1100\,\frac{V}{cm}} \\d=\frac{112}{1100} \,cm\\d=\frac{28}{75} \,cm=0.101818..  \,cm

How do scientists use the evidence they gather?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
