Two 3.8kg physical science textbooks on a bookshelf are 0.38m apart. What is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction between the books?

Members of the Star Trek exploration committee find themselves on Physitopia, a planet with its own unique gravitational characteristics. The Force-sensitive individuals on the committee, accustomed to manipulating the Force on various planets, are now faced with a new challenge: understanding and adapting to the gravitational force on Physitopia. Physitopia has a mass of 6.46 × 1023 kg and a radius of 3.39 × 106 m, poses an intriguing gravitational scenario. To address the concerns of the Star Trek characters, we must calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Physitopia and determine the weight of a 65 kg individual.

One of your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1090 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious space camper and you launch a serious rocket: it reaches an altitude of 227 km. What gain in gravitational potential energy does the launch accomplish? The mass and radius of the Moon are 7.36×10^22 kg and 1740 km, respectively.
