$$F=\frac{ Gm _{1} m _{2}}{ d }$$

joannablackwelder · Answer

G = 6.673 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2

joannablackwelder · Answer

d is the distance between the centers of the two objects

anonymous · Answer

Ok, but I dont really understand m1 and m2, what numbers go in for those two?

joannablackwelder · Answer

mass of the two bodies (i.e. mass of the moon)

anonymous · Answer

Oh so G times the mass of the moon divided by distance, but the thing is it doesnt really give you the distance

joannablackwelder · Answer

Well, G times mass of the moon times mass of the 1 kg of earth divided by the distance from the center of the earth to the center of the moon (you have to look up those distances)
