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,

Answer 1

Answer:

$F=1.06\times 10^{-18}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the Moon, $M=7.34\times 10^2\ kg$

Mass of the person, m = 66 kg

The radius of Moon, $r=1.74\times 10^6\ m$

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

$F=G\dfrac{Mm}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{7.34\times 10^2\times 66}{(1.74\times 10^6)^2}\\\\=1.06\times 10^{-18}\ N$

So, the required force is $1.06\times 10^{-18}\ N$.
