The mass of the earth is 6(10)^24 kg and that of the moon is 7.4 (10)^22 kg .If the distance between the earth and the moon is 3.84 (10)5 kg .Calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon​

Answer»

Answer:

20.2 × 10¹⁹ N

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of moon = 7.4 × 10²² kg

Distance between them = 3.84 × 10⁵ km = 3.84  × 10⁸ m

We have value of G = 6.7 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² kg⁻²

We have to find FORCE :

We have :

F = G m₁ m₂ / r²

F = ( 6.7 × 10⁻¹¹ ) ( 6 × 10²⁴ ) ( 7.4 × 10²² ) / (  3.84 × 10⁸ )² N

F = 20.2 × 10¹⁹ N

Hence force EXERTED by the earth on the moon is 20.2 × 10¹⁹ N.
