The masses of the earth and moon are ` 6 xx 10^(24) kg and 7.4 xx 10^(22)` kg , respectively , The distance between them is `3.84 xx 10^(5)` km. Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between the two. Use ` G = 6.7 xx 10^(-11) N.m^(2) kg^(-2)`

Explanation

To calculate the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Moon, we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation, which is given by the formula:

\[ F = \frac{G \cdot m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^2} \]

Where:
- \( F \) is the gravitational force,
- \( G \) is the gravitational constant (\( 6.7 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \)),
- \( m_1 \) is the mass of the first object (Earth),
