1. At a certain instant, the earth, moon, and a stationary 1500-kg spacecraft are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of length 3.84 × 108 m.

(i) What is the magnitude of the net gravitational force acting on the spacecraft?

(ii) What is the minimum amount of velocity needed to "escape" to a very far distance from this position?
