The gravitational force exerted on the moon while it is in orbit around the planet is 1×10¹⁹ N
How do I determine the gravitaional force?
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Mass of moon (M) = 1×10²² Kg
- Gravitational field strength (E) = 0.001 N/Kg
- Gravitational force (F) =?
From the above data, we can obtain the gravitational force as illustrated below:
Gravitational field strength (E) = force (F) / mass (M)
E = F / M
0.001 = F / 1×10²²
Cross multiply
F = 0.001 × 1×10²²
F = 1×10¹⁹ N
Thus, from the above calculation, we can conclude that the gravitational force is 1×10¹⁹ N
