Dquestion 2 5 pts why does the moon's orbital period (27.3 days) differ from its phase period (29.5 days)? o earth o the mo rotates on its axis every 24 hours, so the moon is constantly falling behind earth's rotation on's orbit is elliptical, so the moon takes longer to complete its phase period than it would in a circular orbit. o in the time it takes the moon to complete one orbit of earth, earth has moved in its orbit around the sun o the sun's gravity slows the moon down when the moon comes between earth and the sun. 4 previous next »

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.
