Worksheet for Gravity equation. Gravity equation: FG= G (mass1 * mass2 ) / d 2 G=6.67*10 -11 * N * m2 /kg 2 Mass of the Earth=5.97*10 24kg Radius of the Earth=6.37*10 6m Mass of the Moon=7.35*10 22kg...

Worksheet for Gravity equation. Gravity equation: FG= G (mass1 * mass2 ) / d 2 G=6.67*10 -11 * N * m2 /kg 2 Mass of the Earth=5.97*10 24kg Radius of the Earth=6.37*10 6m Mass of the Moon=7.35*10 22kg Radius of Moon=1.74*10 6m To convert weight to mass, divide by 2.2 To convert N to Lbs, divide by 4.448 1. Derive the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth’s surface. (be sure to work out how the units cancel) 2. Do the same for the Moon. 4. Now that you have your short cuts, calculate: a) How many Newtons the Earth's gravitational force exerts on you at the surface of the earth

b) How many Newtons the Earth’s gravitational force would exert on you at its surface if the Earth’s radius was twice as long as it actually is (assuming that the earth’s mass remains the same) and how many pounds you would weigh on that bloated earth. c) How many Newtons the Moon's gravitational force exerts on you at the surface of the Moon d) How many Newtons the Moon’s gravitational force would exert on you at

its surface if a largebeing came and squeezed the Moon so that its radius was ¼ of what it was?
