At a certain point between Earth and the Moon, the net gravitational force exerted on an object by Earth and the Moon is zero. T

he Earth-Moon centre-to-centre seperation is 3.84 x 10^5 km. The mass of the Moon is 1.2% the mass of Earth . . a) where is this point located? Are there any other such points? . . b) What is the physical meaning of the root of the quadratic equation whose value exceeds the Earth-Moon distance?

The related equation is 
F = G mE mM/d^2
Given the distance between the two:
F = G mE mM/(384000-d^2)

mM is 1.2 of mE and applying law of proportionality:

mE/d^2 = 0.012 mE/(384000-d^2)

Solving for d using the calculator, the answer is 
d1 =5.88x10^5 km and d2 =2.86 x10^5 km. 
The net gravitation is the distance where d2 =2.86 x10^5 km. There is no physical meaning when <span>d1 =5.88x10^5 km </span>

What would a series circuit be used for?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer

PLEASE HELP!!!! The displacement vectors A and B, when added together, give the resultant vector R, so that R = A + B. Use the d
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Ax = 0

Ay = 6 m

Bx = 8 cos phi = cos 34 = 6.63 m

By = 8 sin phi = 8 sin (-34) = -4.47 m

Rx = Ax + Bx = 0 + 6.63 = 6.63 m

Ry = Ay + By = 6 - 4.47 = 1.53 m

R = (6.63^2 + 1.53^2)^1/2 = 6.80 m

tan theta = Ry / Rx = 1.53 / 6.8 = ,225

theta = 12.7 deg

1. Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

1. Upon analysis of the results, a hypothesis can be rejected or modified, but it can never be proven to be correct 100 percent of the time. For example, relativity has been tested many times, so it is generally accepted as true, but there could be an instance, which has not been encountered, where it is not true.

2.Mass is the amount of matter in a body, normally measured in grams or kilograms etc. Weight is a force that pulls on a mass and is measured in Newtons. So on Earth, Weight would be your (mass x acceleration( 9.8 ) . Density, there are lots of kinds of density I guess, but the one you are talking about is density = mass / volume. Density basically means how much mass is occupied in a specific volume or space. Different materials of the same size may have different masses because of its density. Density in this case is measured in kg / m^3 or kg / L or g / m^3 etc where the numerator is a unit of mass and the denominator a unit of volume.

3.The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

4.  An object will float if the gravitational (downward) force is less than the buoyancy (upward) force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float.
