The distance between Earth and its moon is 3.84 × 108 meters. Earth’s mass is m = 5.9742 × 1024 kilograms and the mass of the moon is 7.36 × 1022 kilograms. What is the force between Earth and the moon?

Answer:F = 1.99×10^20NExplanation:The force experienced by the object is known as the gravitational force. Law of gravitation states that the force that exists between two masses M and m is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses. This is expressed as:F = GMm/r² where G is the gravitational constantGiven Mass of the earth M = 5.9742 × 10^24kgMass of the moonm = 7.36 × 10^22 kgDistance between the masses r = 3.84 × 10^8mG = 6.67×10^11m³/kgs²F = 6.67×10^-11 × 5.9742 × 10^24 × 7.36 × 10^22/(3.84 × 10^8)²F = 293.28×10^35/1.475×10^17F = 198.83×10^18NF = 1.99×10^20N
