What is the gravitational force of attraction of the moon with the earth? Use Mearth = 6.0 x 1024 kg, Mmoon = 7.35 x 1022 kg. The average distance from the earth's center to the moon is 384,400,000 m.

Step 1
The gravitational force (F) between two objects can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant (\( 6.674 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m}^3 \text{kg}^{-1} \text{s}^{-2} \)), \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are Show more…

Find the gravitational force of attraction between the moon and the earth if the mass of the moon is 1/81 times the mass of the earth. G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2, radius of moon's orbit is 3.58 x 10^5 km. Mass of the earth = 6 x 10^24 kg.
