Explain why we do not directly feel the gravitational force of the moon.
This is because gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object. Greater the mass, greater will be the gravitational force exerted by it on the person and thus, more will be our weight. As the moon has very lesser mass than the earth, it has a weaker gravitational force and hence, we don't experience it's force as compared to earth

Let the (a) What will be the ratio of F, to F,? (b) The planet Pluto has 1/500 the mass and 1/15 the radius of Earth. What is the value of g on the surface...
The gravitational force due to the Earth on the moon is approximately 2.0 x 1020N. The distance between the Earth and the moon is 3.8 x 105 km. What is the gravitational force due to the moon on the Earth?
(a) The gravitational force on the Earth caused by the Moon... Selected Answer: is larger than the gravitational force on the Moon caused by the Earth. (b) A person with a mass of 65.2 kg sees a scale that reads in newtons sitting on the floor of the elevator. They step on the scale and press the button for their floor. The scale momentarily reads 724 newtons. What is the acceleration of the elevator? (c) As the angle of an...
When the Moon is directly overhead at sunset, the force by the Earth on the Moon, FEM, is essentially 90° to the force by the sun on the moon, FSM, as depicted in the image. Let FEM = 1.58 × 1020 N, FSM = 4.56 × 1020 N, all other forces on the Moon be negligible, and the mass of the Moon be m = 7.35 × 1022 kg. (a) What is the magnitude of the net force exerted by...

Find the gravitational attraction force exerted by the Moon on Yuchong, who is standing on the surface of the Earth. Yuchong’s mass is 64 kg.
1) Strength of the electric force The earth and the moon exert attractive gravitational forces on one another according to Newton's law of gravitation. However, since the earth and the moon are electrically neutral (that is, the net charge of each planet is zero), they do not exert electrical forces on one another. Assume now that someone (aliens) removes some number N of electrons from both the earth and the moon, so that the two bodies now exhibit electrical repulsion...
Determine the magnitude of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the Moon. (Assume mE=5.98×1024kg is the mass of the Earth, rEM=3.84×108m is the mean distance between the Earth and the Moon.) Express your answer with the appropriate units.
During a solar eclipse the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force acting on the Moon then, due to both Earth and the Sun. The masses of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are 1.99 x100 kg, 5.98 x1024 kg, and 7.36 x 1022 kg, respectively. The Moon's mean distance from Earth is 3.84 × 108 m, and Earth's mean distance from the Sun is 1.50 x 1011 m. The...
