What is the gravitational force of the sun on the earth?
What is the gravitational force of the moon on the earth?
The moon’s force is what percent of the sun’s force?
F = G m₁m₂/r²
G = 6.67 x 10-11m³/kgs²
What is the gravitational force of the sun on the earth?
F = 6.67e-11 x 5.97e24 x 1.99e30 / (1.496 x 1011)²
F = 3.54 x 10 22 Newtons
What is the gravitational force of the moon on the earth?
F = 6.67e-11 x 5.97 x 1024 x 7.34e22 / (3.85 x106)²
F = 19.9 x 1020 Newtons
The moon’s force is what percent of the sun’s force?
3.54 x 10 22 / 19.9 x 1020=
= .564%
