Question

Calculate the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon

Answer 1

F = 1.99 10²⁰ N

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational attraction is given by the expression

F =
`G \ (m_1m_2)/(r^2)`

where G is the constant of attraction 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

in this case the bodies are the Earth and the Moon

let's calculate

F =
`6.67 \ 10^(-11) \ ( 7.36 \ 10^(22) \ 5.98 \ 10^(24) )/( (3.84 \ 10^8)^2)`.67 10⁻¹¹ 7.36 10 22 5.98 1024 / (3.84 108) 2

F = 1.99 10²⁰ N
