(a) How far is the center of mass of the Earth–Moon system from the center of Earth? (Appendix C gives the masses of Earth and the Moon and the distance between the two.) (b) What percentage of Earth’s radius is that distance?
Consider the sun and its largest planet Jupiter. On the line joining them, how far from the center of the sun os their center of mass? Is it within or outside the sun? (Jupiter-sun distance is 778 x 106 km, diameter of the sun is 1.4 x 106 km, the sun is 1000 times as massive as Jupiter.)
Problem B) The mass of the Earth is 5.97 x 1024 kg and the mass of the Sun is 1.99 x 1030 kg. The average
distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.5 x 1011 m from their centers. Where is the center of mass of
the Earth-Sun system located with respect to the center of the Sun? If the radius of the Sun is 6.96 x 108
m, is the center of mass within the Sun or outside the Sun?
