What us the acceleration?
When the Moon is directly overhead at sunset, the force by Earth on the Moon,FEM,is essentially at90to the force by the Sun on the Moon,FSM,as shown below. Given thatFEM=1.98_1020NandFSM=4.36_1020N,all other forces on the Moon are negligible, and the mass of the Moon is7.35_1022kg,determine the magnitude of the Moon’s acceleration (in m/s2)
