Answer:

3.64×10⁸ m

3.34×10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

Let's define some variables:

M₁ = mass of the Earth

r₁ = r = distance from the Earth's center

M₂ = mass of the moon

r₂ = d − r = distance from the moon's center

d = distance between the Earth and the moon

When the gravitational fields become equal:

GM₁m / r₁² = GM₂m / r₂²

M₁ / r₁² = M₂ / r₂²

M₁ / r² = M₂ / (d − r)²

M₁ / r² = M₂ / (d² − 2dr + r²)

M₁ (d² − 2dr + r²) = M₂ r²

M₁d² − 2dM₁ r + M₁ r² = M₂ r²

M₁d² − 2dM₁ r + (M₁ − M₂) r² = 0

d² − 2d r + (1 − M₂/M₁) r² = 0

Solving with quadratic formula:

r = [ 2d ± √(4d² − 4 (1 − M₂/M₁) d²) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)

r = [ 2d ± 2d√(1 − (1 − M₂/M₁)) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)

r = [ 2d ± 2d√(1 − 1 + M₂/M₁) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)

r = [ 2d ± 2d√(M₂/M₁) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)

When we plug in the values, we get:

r = 3.64×10⁸ m

If the moon wasn't there, the acceleration due to Earth's gravity would be:

g = GM / r²

g = (6.672×10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (5.98×10²⁴ kg) / (3.64×10⁸ m)²

g = 3.34×10⁻³ m/s²

What happens when light strikes a translucent object?
sammy [17]

Answer:

D)   Some of the light passes through, and some of the light is absorbed or scattered by the object.

Explanation:

When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. ... When light strikes an opaque object none of it passes through. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to heat.

(I googled it) ☺
