Calculate the force of gravity on a 1 kg mass at Earth’s surface. The mass of the Earth is 6 x 10^24 kg, and its radius is 6.4 x 10^6 m.
Calculate the force of gravity between Earth (mass = 6x10^24 kg) and the moon (mass = 7.4x10^22 kg). The average Earth-moon distance is 3.8x10^8 m.
What gravitational attraction does the moon have for a 70 kg person on earth? Use this info for the following question: mass of moon=7.4x10^22 kg, and distance between earth and moon is 3.8x10^8 m.
What gravitational attraction does the earth have for a 70 kg person on earth? Use this info for the following question: mass of earth=5.97x10^24 kg, and radius of the earth is 6.38x10^6 m
How does the Fg between the person and the Earth compare to the Fg between the person and the moon?
If you increase the radius from 2m to 6m, what happens to the Fg?
If you increase mass 1 from 2kg to 6kg, what happens to the Fg?
If you decrease mass 1 from 10kg to 5kg, what happens to the Fg?
If you decrease distance from 10m to 5m, what happens to the Fg?
Which has a greater affect on Fg?
Which scenario would produce the greatest Fg?
