  • Net Gravitational Force

    The table below gives the masses of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Earth 5.97*1024 kg Moon 7.35*1022 kg Sun 1.99*1030 kg The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84*108 m.

  • Gravitation: Distance between earth and the moon.

    Answer: Let the mass of the earth be M, mass of moon be m and the distance between the moon and the earth be r. The gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the moon is given by F = GMm/r2.

  • Gravitational force of earth and moon

    Both are pulled towards each other by a force which is equal to F = G M m / r^2 where G= Gravitational constant M = Mass of the earth m= Mass of the moon r= distance between Earth and the moon The effect of this force is more pronounced on
