Calculate the force of attraction between the moon and the earth, if their masses and distance apart are 10^22Kg, 10^24kg and 6.4x10^6m. Take g = 6.67x10^-11Nm^2Kg^-2
a) 0.63x10^24N
b) 1.63x10^22N
c) 2.63x10^20N
d) 3.63x10^18Nā€‹

Explanation:

You didn't fill in the proper masses which is why you never got an answer to this. But that's ok...I got you. I happen to know what they are! We will use the universal law of gravitation and the gravitational constant to solve this.

[tex]F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex] and filling in:

[tex]F_g=\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})(7.36*10^{22})}{(3.84*10^8)^2}[/tex] The denominator is the radius of the earth plus the radius of the moon plus the distance between their surfaces, just FYI.

That gives us that

[tex]F_g=1.99*10^{20}N[/tex] Not sure what your choices entail, but I'd have to say, taking into consideration that maybe your problem didn't figure in the distance between the surfaces, you'd be at choice B.
