We need to be careful here.
The calculation of the gravitational force between two objects
refers to the distance between their centers. 
The minimum possible distance between the Earth's and moon's
centers is the sum of their radii (radiuses).

Earth's radius . . . . .  6,360 km  =  6.36 x 10⁶ meters
Moon's radius . . . . .  1,738 km  =  1.738 x 10⁶ meters
Sum of their radii  =                      8.098 x 10⁶ meters

Also:
Earth's mass . . . . .  5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
Moon's mass . . . . .  7.348 x 10²²  kg
<span>
and now we're ready to go !

       Gravitational force = 

                   G  M₁ M₂ / R²

= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²)(</span><span>5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(7.348 x 10²²  kg)/</span>(8.098 x 10⁶ m)²

= (6.67 · 5.972 · 7.348 / 8.098²) · (10²³)      Newtons

=    (I get ...)        4.463 x 10²³ Newtons

That's almost exactly   10²³ pounds 

                           =  50,153,000,000,000,000,000 tons.     

Those are big numbers. 
All I can say is:  I wouldn't exactly call that "resting" on the surface".

A house is lifted from its foundations onto a truck for relocation. The house is pulled upward by a net force of 2850 N. This fo
Gwar [14]

Answer:

m = 95000 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the house, F = 2850 N

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 15 cm/s = 0.15 m/s

We need to find the mass of the house. Let the mass be m. We know that the net force is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the house.

So,

F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\m=\dfrac{Ft}{(v-u)}\\\\m=\dfrac{2850\times 5}{(0.15-0)}\\\\m=95000\ kg

So, the mass of the house is equal to 95000 kg.

An object is launched with an initial speed of 30 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal . What is the maximum height reach
matrenka [14]

Answer:

H = 34.43 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the object, u = 30 m/s

The angle of projection, \theta=60^{\circ}

We need to find the maximum height reached by the object. Let it is H. Using the formula for maximum height reached by the projectile.

H=\dfrac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\\H=\dfrac{(30)^2\times \sin^2(60)}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=34.43\ m

So, the maximum height reached by the object is 34.43 m.
