Satellite Мoon Planet A human-made satellite was placed along a straight line between a distant planet and its single moon, as shown in the diagram above. The planet has a mass of 122 x 1024 kg. The satellite has a mass of 29 x 103 kg. The moon has a mass of 2.84 x 1024 kg. The distance from the center of the planet to the center of the moon is d1 = 64 x 106 meters (note that this is the same as 64 megameters or 64 Mm). The satellite was placed a distance d2 from the center of the moon. The distance d2 was chosen so that the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the planet would be equal in magnitude to the magnitude

The (Figure 1) shows three masses. Take m1m1m_1 = 32 kgkg , m2m2 = 5.0 kgkg, and m3m3m_3 = 18 kg.What is the magnitude and direction of the net gravitational force on the mass m1m1?
I have solution here, WHAT I ACTUALLY NEED ONLY IS THE DIAGRAM OR FIGURE OF THIS PROBLEM. Supposed that you are weighing 54kg, what is your weight provided that you are in the surface of the moon? You are in the surface of the earth? Hint: gearth = 9.81m/s² and gmoon = 1/6 of gearth
the weight, w, of an object varies inversely as the square of the distance, d, between the object and the center of Earth. If a man weighs 75kg on the surface of Earth, how much would he weigh 300km above the Earth's surface? (given the radius of the earth is approximately 6400km)
Sphere A with mass 80 kg is located at the origin of an xy coordinate system; sphere B with mass 60 kg is located at coordinates (0.25 m, 0); sphere C with mass 0.20 kg is located in the first quadrant 0.20 m from A and 0.15 m from B. In unit-vector notation, what is the gravitational force on Cdue to AandB?
The centers of the Earth and its moon are separated by an average of 3.84 × 105 m and the moon’s mass is 7.35 × 1022 kg. What force does Earth’s moon exert on a 10 kg mass?
The weight w of an object varied inversely as the square of the distance d between the object and the center of Earth. If a man weighs 90 kg on the surface of Earth, how much would he weigh 400 km above the Earth's surface? (Given: The radius of the Earth is approximately 6400 km.)
The centers of the earth and its moon are separated by an average of 3.84 c 10^5 m and the moon's mass is 7.35 c 10^22 kg. What does Earth's moon exert on a 10 kg mass?
Mars’s moon Phobos orbits the planet at a distance of 9380 km from its center, and it takes 7 hours and 39 minutes to complete one orbit. What is the ratio of Mars’s mass to the mass of the earth?
Calculate the Earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the North Pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the radius of the Earth is 6371 km. Group of answer choices 5.96x1024 kg 5.97x1024 kg 5.98x1024 kg 5.99x1024 kg
If the distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon is d, the mass of the Earth isMe , the mass of the Moon is Mm, by neglecting the effect of another object in the space, predicta position between Earth and Moon so that the force acting to an object due to both and Earth andMoon is balance?
The center of a moon of mass m is a distance D from the center of a planet of mass M. At some distance x from the center of the planet, along a line connecting the centers of planet and moon, the net force on an object will be zero. If the net force is zero a distance 2/3 D from the planet, what is the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon, M/m?
