The earth and moon are seperated by a
centerto cent distance of 3.85 * 108 m. the mass of
theearth is 5.98 * 1024 kg. and that of the moon is7.35
* 1022 kg. how far does the center of themass lie of the
center of the earth?

4674568 m or 4675 km

Explanation:

Let x be the distance from the center of the mass system to the center of the earth. This means the distance from the center of the mass system to the center of the moon is . For the masses to balance out, we have the following equation:

where is the mass of Earth, and is mass of the moon

We can divide both sides by

or 4675 km

the answer is d. 4

also the more points you give the faster your questions get answered

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
