(Solved): When the moon is directly overhead at sunset, the gravitational force on the Moon due to the Earth, ...
When the moon is directly overhead at sunset, the gravitational force on the Moon due to the Earth, F_(EM), is perpendicular
to the gravitational force on the Moon due to the Sun, vec(F)_(SM ). These two forces have magnitudes F_(EM )=1.98\times 10^(20)N and
F_(SM)=4.36\times 10^(20)N. Assume that all other forces are negligible. The mass of the Moon is m=7.35\times 10^(22)kg. Part (a)
Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the Moon.
