An interactive GeoGebra app to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing.
A few things we may need:
Radius of earth: 6371km
Radius of moon: 1737.1km
Distance between earth and moon: Apogee: 405 696km, Perigee: 363 104km, Average: 384 400km
Mass of Earth: 5.972x10^24 kg
Mass of Moon: 7.348x10^22 kg
Gravitational constant G = 6.674×10^(−11)
F = G m1 m2/r^2
Do we want to make any simplifying assumptions:
Moon's orbit around the Earth is circular?
