Part one

on the way to the moon, the apollo astronauts reach a point where the moon’s gravitational pull is stronger than that of earth’s.
find the distance of this point from the
center of the earth. the masses of the
earth and the moon are 5.98 × 10^24 kg and
7.36 × 10^22 kg, respectively, and the distance
from the earth to the moon is 3.84 × 10^8 m.
answer in units of m.

part two

what would the acceleration of the astronaut be due to the earth’s gravity at this
point if the moon was not there? the
value of the universal gravitational constant
is 6.672 × 10^−11 n · m^2/kg^2
answer in units of m/s^2

Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.
