Every few months, memes circulate claiming that certain alignments of the planets with the Earth will result in a change in the gravitational force you feel. Usually these memes state that the alignment will counteract Earth's gravity slightly so you will feel less of a gravitational pull towards the Earth. Can this ever happen? Let's look at the numbers. What is the gravitational force (in N) of the Earth on you (MĚ = 5.97 × 1024 kg, R₁ = 6380 km)? Say your mass is 64 kg. (Enter the magnitude.) What is the gravitational force (in N) of Jupiter on you when it is closest to Earth (M₁ = 1.90 × 1027 kg, R₁ = 5.88 × 108 km)? (Enter the magnitude.) By what factor would the mass of Jupiter need to increase to be equal to the gravitational force you feel from the Earth? Part 1 of 5 The gravitational force between two masses is given by -GMm r² where G = 6.67 x 10-11 m³/s²/kg. FgE Part 2 of 5 We can use this expression to determine the magnitude of the gravitational force you feel while on the…
