Universal Gravitation Problem Set Highlight Given information in GREEN. Highlight what you are solving for in YELLOW.
Formula: Fg= G*M,*M,/d? G= 6.67 * 10-11 N*M°/Kg?
The distance between Earth and its moon is 3.84 x 10 meters. Earth's mass is
m = 5.98 x 1024 kilograms and the mass of the moon is 7.36 x 1022 kilograms.
What is the force between Earth and the moon?

The force between Earth and the moon is 1.99x10²⁶ N.

Explanation:

The force between Earth and the moon can be found using the Gravitational Force equation:

Where:

d: is the distance between Earth and the moon = 3.84x10⁵ m

G: is the gravitational constant = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

: is the Earth's mass = 5.98x10²⁴ kg

: is the moon's mass = 7.36x10²² kg

Hence, the force is:

Therefore, the force between Earth and the moon is 1.99x10²⁶ N.

I hope it helps you!
