Question:
Imagine that the Moon is locked into its orbit around the Earth by electrical forces and the gravitational force between the Earth and Moon is somehow “turned off.”
(a) A charge of what magnitude would need to be on each body? Approximate the Moon and the Earth as point particles and assume both have the same magnitude of charge.
(b) How many moles of electrons would that be?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
