The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon (gM) is 1.62 m/s^2. The moon's radius is 1738 km. What is the weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of 10 kg on the surface of the moon? Determine the force exerted on the object by the gravity of the moon if the object is located 1738 km above the moon's surface. (The universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67x10^-11 N-m^2/kg^2 and F = Gm1m2/r^2)

Find the gravitational force (the weight) acting on a 100 kg person standing on the surface of the Moon by using Newton's law of gravitation. G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg; r_moon = 1.738 x 10^6 m (Moon radius); m_moon = 7.35 x 10^22 kg (Moon mass).

An astronaut weighs 130 N on the moon's surface. When she is in a circular orbit about the moon at an altitude above the moon's surface equal to 0.64 * Rmoon (times the moon's radius), what gravitational force does the moon exert on her? Answer in units of N.
