Question

4. The moon has a mass of 7.35 * 10^22 kg and a radius of 1.74 * 10^6 m. It orbits the Earth at a distance (center-to-center) of 3.85 * 10^8 m in a time of 27 days. The Earth has a mass of 5.97 * 10^24 kg and a radius of 6.37 * 10^6 m. It orbits the sun at a distance (center-to-center) of 1.50 * 10^11 m in a time of 365.25 days. Fg=ma a=v^2/r Fg=GMm/r^2 Sun 3.85 * 10^8 m Earth moon 1.50 * 10^11 m a. Find the acceleration of an object near the surface of the moon. 1.619 m/s^2 b. Find the force that the moon experiences in orbiting the Earth. c. The Earth's tides are caused primarily by the gravitational pull from the moon, but the gravitational pull from the sun also has an effect. Find how much larger of an effect the moon has than the sun on 1 kg of water on Earth.
