Knowledge, experience and insight from decades of teaching physics.
The Earth’s moon has a mass of 7.34 x 1022 kg and is 3.81 x 108 m above LHS, which has a mass of 1.28 x 106 kg.
a. Find the strength of the gravitational force between the Moon & LHS.
According to newton's law of gravitation, Fg = Gm1m2/d2 where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects respectively while d is the distance between them. G is the gravitational constant (distinct from acceleration due to gravity) = 6.67x10-11 Nm2/kg2 . Plug in the given values into the formula and solve.
