What path will the moon take when the gravitational interaction between the moon and earth disappears? `(AS_(2))`

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is

The gravitational potential energy of the Moon with respect to Earth is:

Assertion: The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is one-sixth that on the earth. Reason : The law of gravitation is the same on both the moon and the earth. .

Suppose a charge + q on Earth's surface and another +q charge is placed on the surface of the Moon . (a) Calculate the value of q required to balance the gravitational attraction between Earth and Moon (b) Suppose the distance between the Moon and Earth is halved would the charge q change ? (Take m_(E)= 5.9xx10^(24)kg m_(M)= 7.348 xx10^(22) kg)

Suppose a charge +q on Earth's surface and another +q charge is placed on the surface of the moon. (a) Calcualte the value of a q required to balance the r=gravitional attraction between Earth and Moon (b) Suppose the distance between the moon and Earth is halved, would the charge q change?

On a full moon day, when the Sun is setting in the west, moon rises in the West.
