Description: The moon (m=7.36 × 10^22kg) is bound to Earth (m=5.98 × 10^24kg) by gravity. If, instead, the force of attraction were the result of each having a charge of the same magnitude but opposite in sign, find the quantity of charge that would have to be placed on cach to produce the required force.

Step 1: Calculate the gravitational force between Earth and the Moon using the formula (F_{tex

Question

The moon $\left(m=7.36 \times 10^{22} \mathrm{kg}\right)$ is bound to Earth $\left(m=5.98 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{kg}\right)$ by gravity. If, instead, the force of attraction were the result of each having a charge of the same magnitude but opposite in $\operatorname{sign},$ find the quantity of charge that would have to be placed on cach to produce the required force.
