A planet has two moons of equal mass. Moon 1 is in a circular orbit of radius r. Moon 2 is in a circular orbit of radius 2r. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the planet on Moon 2? Choose among the choices below.

(a) four times as large as that on Moon 1

(b) twice as large as that on Moon 1

(c) equal to that on Moon 1

(d) half as large as that on Moon 1

The Moon's craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.00 x 1012 kg (about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon at a speed of 15.0 km/s. (a) At what speed does the Moon recoil after the perfectly inelastic collision (the mass of the 22 Moon is 7.36 x 10 kg)? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon. (c) In October 2009, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon, and analyzed the plume produced by the impact. (Significant amounts of water were detected.) Answer part (a) and (b) for this real-life experiment. The mass of the rocket was 2000 kg and its speed upon impact was 9000 km/h. How does the plume produced alter these results?
