The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

How to solve part 2 of this question? I have an answer of 1.97E22 for part A but I am having trouble with part B. A. The Earth has a mass of 5.97 * 1024 kg and the Moon has a mass of 7.35 * 1022 kg. If they are separated by a distance of 3.85 * 105 km, what is the force (in N) between the Earth and the Moon? (Enter your answer in scientific notation: 1.23E12 means 1.23 * 1012) B. Repeat the previous problem using centripetal forces. Assume the Moon travels in a perfect circle around the Earth, with masses and distances given above, and takes 27.32 days to complete a complete circle. What is the centripetal force (in N) acting on the Moon? (Think about why and by how much the answers to these two questions differ.)
