1. The earth has a mass of 5.97219 x 1024 kilograms and a radius of 3958.8 mi. If you have a mass of 145.505 Ibs, how strong is the force between you and the moon in MKS units? 2. A distance of 0.002 m separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is 0.0104 N, find the mass of each object. 3. What will be the radial acceleration will a satellite attain if NASA was instructed to deploy a 2000-kg satellite into our orbit 186 mi above the surface of the earth? Use the data given in number 1.
