Why do Moon travellers tie heavy weight on their backs before landing on the Moon?
Calculate the force of gravity between Earth (mass = 6.0 × 1024 kg) and the Moon (mass = 7.4 × 1022 kg). The average Earth–Moon distance is 3.8 × 10
Think beyond: Does the moon and satellites are falling to the Earth? Why yes? Why not?

- Consider an airplane that flies due east on a trip, then turns flying due west.
