| (...) Umm... It's not a poke. honest. Your value for the Earth-moon distance is off by a factor of ten. which means your answer should be 2.25ish days. And... The force of the moon's gravity doesn't really enter into this. We know Force = (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

For my first attempt at solving this, I tried converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. The resulting integral was (...)

| (...) As regard the math, I wouldn't know where to start, but surely even if the moon we're sitting on the earths surface the earth would still exert more force than the moon so you wouldn't be weightless. I don't know if you mean't, at the point (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Shiri is a good builder and a large contributor to the community. I'm a little confused as to where this (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I also have never seen any of the work that Shiri has made and simply wanted to know if Shiri (not sure (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Since this seems to be the "isn't Shiri great" subsection of the thread, let me add my kudos, she does a lot of (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
