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.

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.
