The mass of the Earth is 5.97 x 1024 kilograms and the radius of the Earth is 6.38 x 106 meters. Round your answer to the nearest integer. QUESTION 2 What is the gravitational force on a 90 kilogram person standing on the Earth, due to Moon's gravity The mass of the Moon is 734-1022 kilograms and the distance from the Earth to the Moon is 3.84 x 108 meters. Use scientific notation and round the coefficient to two decimals. See info for this homework if you're not sure about the format.

Explanation / Answer

g=Accleration due to gravity=G*M/R*R=9.78 m/s*s

Force=mg=508.7 N

(2) force=880.4 N
