The mass of the Earth is about 6.0 x 1024 kg. The mass of the Moon is about 7.3 x 10²2 kg. The average distance between them is about 3.8 x 105 km. a) Determine the distance from the Moon of the two points where the gravitational field of the Earth and of the Moon are equivalent in magnitude. [2] b) Identify and explain in which one of them the gravitational field due to both masses is zero. [1] The mass of the Earth is about 6.0 x 1024 kg. The mass of the Moon is about 7.3 x 10²2 kg.
