Many astronomers argue that the Earth and Moon should be considered a double planet,since the gravitational force by the sun on the Moon is approximately as big as that by the Earth on the moon.Using the data below for the Earth and Moon at the particular point in their orbits,and supposing that the moon is situated between the Earth and sun,Answer the questions that follow:
Distance from the Earth to the sun:147329612 Km
Distance from the Earth to the moon:374500 Km
Mass of the Earth: 5.9736 X 10^24Kg
Mass of the Moon:7.3477 X 10^22Kg
Mass of the Sun:1.9891 X 10^30 Kg
A) what is the magnitude of the force by earth on the moon?
B)what is the distance from the sun to the moon?
C) what is the magnitude of the force by the sun on the moon?
D)which objects pulls more strongly to the moon?
E)what is the net force experienced by the Moon?
