Acommon, though incorrect, statement is, "the moon orbits the earth." that creates an image of the moon? s orbit that looks like that shown in the figure. (figure 1) the earth's gravity pulls on the moon, causing it to orbit. however, by newton? s third law, it is known that the moon exerts a force back on the earth. therefore, the earth should move in response to the moon. thus a more accurate statement is, "the moon and the earth both orbit the center of mass of the earth-moon system." in this problem, you will calculate the location of the center of mass for the earth-moon system, and then you will calculate the center of mass of the earth-moon-sun system. the mass of the moon is 7.35? 1022kg , the mass of the earth is 6.00? 1024kg , and the mass of the sun is 2.00? 1030kg . the distance between the moon and the earth is 3.80? 105km . the distance between the earth and the sun is 1.50? 108km . part a calculate the location x_cm of the center of mass of the earth-moon system. use a coordinate system in which the center of the earth is at x=0 and the moon is located in the positive x direction.

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
