Question

The masses of earth and moon are 5.98x10 24 Kg and 7.36x10 22 Kg.If there mean seperation distance is 3.82x10 8m Calculate the gravitational potential energy of earth and moon system?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation:

a)F=G(m1)(m2)r2

F=(6.67300×10−11)(7.34⋅1022kg)5.97⋅1024kg(3.8⋅108m)2=2.025⋅1020

b) The field is just G(m)/r^2

(6.67300⋅10−11)5.97⋅1024kg(3.8⋅108m)2=0.002759
