The rear side of the moon was photographed by

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 percent 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 xx 10^8 m and Earth's radius is 6.37 xx 10^6 m.

The change in the value of acceleration of earth toward sun, when the moon coomes from the position of solar eclipse to the position on the other side of earth in line with sun is : (mass of moon =7.36xx10^(22) kg, orbital radius of moon =3.8xx10^(8) m.)

Answer the following : If you compare the graviational force on the Earth due to the sun to that due to the moon you would find that the Sun's pull is greater than the Moon's pull. However, the tidal effect to the Moon's pull is greater than the tidal effect of the Sun. Why ?

Objects on the moon weigh only about one sixth as much' as they do on earth, you would almost certainly be able to lift a heavy person. Could you easily stop him if he was running at a fast rate across the moon's surface ?
