a body weight 1 kg on the surface of the moon is mass of the moon is 7.4×10 22 kg and radius of moon is 1740 km calculate the force acting between the body and the moon. acceleration product in the body. acceleration product in moon
Answers
Explanation:
f=G (m1m2/r^2)
= 6.67×10^11 (1×7.4×10^22/1740)
=1.63×10^6N
Given :-
Mass of the body = 1 kg
Mass of the moon = 7.4 × 10²² kg
Radius of the moon = 1740 km
To Find :-
The force acting between the body and the moon.
The acceleration produced in the body.
The acceleration produced in the moon.
Analysis :-
Firstly in order to find the force acting between the body and the moon substitute the values given in the question using the universal law of gravitation.
Then using the formula of force find the acceleration produced in moon and body accordingly.
Solution :-
We know that,
- r = Distance
- f = Force
- m = Mass
- g = Gravity
Using the formula,
Given that,
Gravity (g) = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
Mass₁ (M) = 7.4 × 10²² kg
Mass₂ (m) = 1 kg
Radius (r) = 1740 km = 1740 × 1000
Substituting their values,
Therefore, the force acting on the body is 1.63 N.
Using the formula,
CASE I (acceleration in the body) :-
Given that,
Force (f) = 1.63 N
Mass (m) = 1 kg
Substituting their values,
Therefore, the acceleration produced by the body is 1.63 m/s.
CASE II (acceleration in the moon) :-
Given that,
Force (f) = 1.63 N
Mass (m) = 7.4 x10²² kg
Substituting their values,
Therefore, the acceleration produced by the body is 2.2 × 10⁻²³ m/s.
