Mass of the Sun is 1.99 × × 1030 kg, mass of the Earth is 5.98 × × 1024 kg, mass of the Moon is 7.35 × × 1022 kg. Orbit radius of the Earth is 1.50 × × 1011 m, orbit radius of the Moon is 3.84 × × 108 m. 1) Determine the magnitude of the net force of gravity acting on the Moon during an eclipse when it is directly between Earth and the Sun. (Express your...
Please include enough steps in your solution. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon, Earth, and Sun all lie on the same line, with the Earth between the Moon and the Sun. The Moon has a mass of 7.36 1022 kg; the Earth has a mass of 5.98 x 1024 kg; and the Sun has a mass of 1.99 x1030 kg. The separation between the Moon and the Earth is given by 3.84 x 108 m; the separation between the Earth...
How much equal charge should be placed on the Earth and the Moon so that the electrical repulsion balances the gravitational force of1.98 times 10^20 N? Treat the Earth and Moon as point charges a distance 3.84 times 10^8 m apart. Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.
During a solar eclipse the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force acting on the Moon then, due to both Earth and the Sun. The masses of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are 1.99 x100 kg, 5.98 x1024 kg, and 7.36 x 1022 kg, respectively. The Moon's mean distance from Earth is 3.84 × 108 m, and Earth's mean distance from the Sun is 1.50 x 1011 m. The...
Need help please and thanks! Moon Pory om Earth Roe Sun For simplicity, assume the earth moves in a circular orbit around the sun, and the moon circles the earth, all in the horizontal plane. The center of the earth is a distance of 1.5*1011 m from the center of the sun, circling at an angular velocity of de = 2*10-7 rad/s (1 revolution per year). The center of the moon is a distance of 3.84*108 m from the center...
1) At what point between the Earth and Moon do the gravitational forces from each balance? Give your answer as the distance from the center of Earth. 2) At what height above the Earth is the freefall acceleration half of the value 9.8 m / s²? 3) The Earth, Moon and your 5000 kg spaceship form an equilateral triangle and some instant in time. Define an xy-plane containing all three objects. Define the origin at the location of your space...
Determine the magnitude of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the Moon. (Assume mE=5.98×1024kg is the mass of the Earth, rEM=3.84×108m is the mean distance between the Earth and the Moon.) Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Question 1: 25% Find the total gravitational force on the Earth from the Sun and Moon, using the axes shown in the figure. Show your work, write your answer in unit vector notation, and keep 3 significant figures on each component in your answer. Moon 7.35 x 1022 kg 3.85 x 108m Sun 1.50 x 1011m 1.99 x 1030kg 5.97 x 1024 kg Earth
Learning Goal: To understand Newton's law of gravitation and the distinction between inertial and gravitational masses. In this problem, you will practice using Newton's law of gravitation. According to that law, the magnitude of the gravitational force Fg between two small particles of masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r, is given by m1m2 T2 where G is the universal gravitational constant, whose numerical value (in SI units) is 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2 kg2 This formula applies not...
