The mass of the earth is 6.0 x 1024kg and that of the moon is 7.0 x 1022kg. If the distance between them is 4.0 x 108m, calculate the force of attraction between them. [G = 6.7 x 10-11Nm2kg-2]

A.

1.8 x 105N

B.

1.8 x 1010N

C.

1.8 x 1015N

D.

1.8 x 1020N

Correct answer is D

F = GM1M2122

F = 6.7 x 10-11x

F = M1M2R2

F = 6.7×1011×6.0×1024×7.0×1022(4×108)2

= 1.8 x 1020N

A.

0.25m

B.

2.50m

C.

3.60m

D.

36.00

Correct answer is B

R = PLA

C = RAP

C = 0.60×106×37.2×107

C = 2.50m
