Answer:
Distance between centre of Earth and centre of Moon is 3.85 x 10⁸ m
Explanation:
The attractive force experienced by two mass objects is known as Gravitational force.
The gravitational force is determine by the relation:
....(1)
According to the problem,
Mass of Moon, m₁ = 7.35 x 10²² kg
Mass of Earth, m₂ = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg
Gravitational force experienced by them, F = 1.98 x 10²⁰ N
Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²
Substitute these values in equation (1).
d = 3.85 x 10⁸ m
I think the answer is b.boom
Answer:
The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.
Explanation:
Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.
Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as
where,
is the position vector of the mass dm.
As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.
Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:
1) Horseshoe shaped body.
2) A thin ring.
In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.
