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

A rocket's mass decreases as it burns fuel. the equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton's
Talja [164]

<span>The equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton’s second law of motion and is constant-mass system. The equation of motion for a body mass varies with time and mass. When force acts on rocket, the rocket will accelerate in the direction of force. Therefore, force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.</span>

In some cases fixture wires may be used for
zalisa [80]

You can use fixture wires: For installation in luminaires where they are enclosed and protected and not subject to bending and twisting and also can be used to connect luminaires to their branch circuit conductors.

<h3>What are some uses of fixture wires?</h3>

Fixture wires are flexible conductors that are used for wiring fixtures and control circuits. There are some special uses and requirements for fixture wires and no fixture can be smaller than 18 AWG

In modern fixtures, neutral wire is white and the hot wire is red or black. In some types of fixtures, both wires will be of the same color.

A certain field line diagram illustrates the electric field due to three particles that carry charges 5.0 μC, -3.0 μC, and -2.0
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Number of lines emanate from + 5 micro coulomb is 15 .

They terminates at negative charges that means at - 3 micro coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb.

the electric field lines terminates at - 3 micro Coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb is in the ratio of 3 : 2.

So the lines terminating at - 3 micro coulomb

                                    = \frac{3}{5}\times 15 = 9

So the lines terminating at - 2 micro coulomb

                                    = \frac{2}{5}\times 15 = 6

So, the number of filed lines terminates at - 2 micro Coulomb are 6.

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.
