The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98 1024 kg, and the mass of the Moon is approximately 7.35 1022 kg. The Moon and the Earth are separated by about 3.84 108 m. a. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth? b. If Serena is on the Moon and her mass is 25 kg, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force on Serena due to the Moon? The radius of the Moon is approximately 1.74 106 m.
Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one's birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 4.20 kg baby by a 100 kg father 0.200 m away at birth (he is assisting, so he is close to the child) (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.291011 m away. How does the force of Jupiter on the baby compare to the force of the father on the baby? Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)
