Question

The moon has a mass of 7.34 . 102 kg and a radius of 1.74 . 106 meters. If you have a mass of 66 kg,

how strong is the force between you and the moon?​

Answer 1

`F=1.06* 10^(-18)\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the Moon,
`M=7.34* 10^2\ kg`

Mass of the person, m = 66 kg

The radius of Moon,
`r=1.74* 10^6\ m`

We need to find the force between the person and the Moon. The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

`F=G(Mm)/(r^2)\\\\F=6.67* 10^(-11)* (7.34* 10^2* 66)/((1.74* 10^6)^2)\\\\=1.06* 10^(-18)\ N`

So, the required force is
`1.06* 10^(-18)\ N`.
