Step 1
67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 - Mass of Earth (M1) = 6.0 x 10^24 kg - Mass of Moon (M2) = 7.4 x 10^22 kg - Distance between Earth and Moon (D) = 3.8 x 10^8 m Show more…

Calculate the force of gravity that Earth (mass $6.0 \times$ $10^{24} {kg} )$ and the Moon (mass $7.4 \times 10^{22} {kg}$ ) exert on each other. The average Earth-Moon distance is $3.8 \times$ $10^{8} {m} .$
Calculate the gravitational force between the earth and the moon in newtons. The distance between the earth and the moon is 384 x 103km. Note: mass of earth = 5.9742 X 1024 kg, radius of earth = 6378 km, mass of moon = 0.073 483 x 1024 kg, radius of moon = 1737 km

The average distance separating Earth and the Moon is $384000 \mathrm{~km}$. Use the data in Table $7.3$ to find the net gravitational force exerted by Earth and the Moon on a $3.00$ $\times 10^{4}$ -kg spaceship located halfway between them.
