Students have asked these similar questions
consider the earth and the moon. look up their relative
positions and masses if you need some basic
information, create a drawing as best as you can and
clearly mark the two-body system's center of mass
The Moon is 60 Earth radii (i.e. 60 rEarth) from the center of the Earth and has a mass of 0.012 Earth masses (i.e. 0.012 mEarth)
a. How many Earth radii is the center of mass (the “barycenter”) of the Earth-Moon system from the center of the Earth?
b. Is the center of mass inside the Earth or outside the Earth?
c. What point along the line from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon orbits the barycenter of the Solar System in a (nearly) circular orbit (e.g. the center of the Earth, the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system, the midpoint, the center of the Moon)?
4. Pluto's diameter is approximately 2370 km, and the diameter of its largest satellite
Charon is 1250 km. Although the distance varies, they are often about 19700 km
apart, center to center. Assuming that both Pluto and Charon have the same
composition and hence the same average density, find the location of the center of
mass of this system relative to the center of Pluto.
