Ohhhh yeah, never noticed that part. So that part is understood, thanks!
About the resolution of the forces (or accelerations now) Fa and Fb, do I have to use the following formula?
R^2=X^2 + Y^2 (where R is the net gravitational force, X is the sum of components on X-axis, and Y is the...
I must be doing something wrong because it gave me an answer not in the choices. I'm going to attach a photo (sorry about the quality I took it using my phone) of what I did. I'm not sure about the resolution part, there might be a mistake(s) there. Can you please take a loot it it and tell me...
Homework Statement
The Moon is 3.9*10^5 km from Earth's center and 1.5*10^8 km from the Sun's center. The masses of Earth and the Sun are 6*10^24 and 2*10^30 kg, respectively.
a. The ratio of the gravitational fields due to the Sun and Earth at the center of the moon is:
1) 2300
2) 230...
