TAP 404-3 Gravitational field between the Earth and the Moon
... The measured distance from D to the Moon is three times the distance from D to the Earth. This means that the gravitational force of attraction on the spacecraft due to the Moon (an inverse square law) would be 1/9 that due to the Earth if the Earth and Moon had the same mass. But the Moon’s mass is ...

... Acceleration -- Change in velocity. Note that since velocity comprises both direction and magnitude (speed), a change in either direction or speed constitutes acceleration. Asteroids -- Small bodies composed of rock and metal in orbit about the sun. AU -- Astronomical Unit, based on the mean Earth-t ...
