Question
The Moon has an interesting relationship with the Earth, where the same
face of the Moon is always facing towards the Earth. This is called tidal
locking, where the time it takes for the Moon to rotate once is exactly
equal to the time it takes for it to orbit the Earth. Given that the Moon
performs 13.5 rotations per year, and that the Earth has a mass of 5.97
1024 kg, find the center to center distance between the Earth and the
X
Moon. You must show your work in order to obtain credit. The
gravitational constant is G = 6.67 x 10 11 Nm
kg2
