Solved: According to Newtons Law of universal gravitation,

Chapter 4, Problem 80

(choose chapter or problem)

According to Newtons Law of universal gravitation, the attractive force F between two bodies is given by F = Gm1m2 r2 where m1, m2 = the masses of the two bodies r = distance between the two bodies G = gravitational constant = 6.6742 * 10-11 newtons meter2 kilogram-2 Suppose an object is traveling directly from Earth to the moon. The mass of Earth is 5.9742 * 1024 kilograms, the mass of the moon is 7.349 * 1022 kilograms, and the mean distance from Earth to the moon is 384,400 kilometers. For an object between Earth and the moon, how far from Earth is the force on the object due to the moon greater than the force on the object due to Earth?
