Technically, the Moon

Consider space density function of the form,

ds(x)=Ae(xre)+Be(Orbsrm+xrm)+C

where re and rm are radius of the bodies, Orbs is their distance apart (surface to surface) and A, B are constants to be determined.  C disappears after differentiation.

Then we let the inverse relationship between time speed squared v2tand space density, ds(x) to be,

v2t=FDds(x) where F,D are constants.

Differentiating this with respect to x,

2vtdvtdx=Dd(ds(x))dx

From the energy conservation equation,

v2t+v2s=c2

Differentiating with respect to time and since total energy does not change with time,

2vtdvtdt+2vsdvsdt=0

vtdvtdxdxdt+vsg=0, since g=dvsdt and vs=dxdt

g=vtdvtdx

From previously, vtvtdx=D2d(ds(x))dx

g=D2d(ds(x))dx

And so,

g=D2(Areexre+Brme(Orbsrm+xrm))

We know that the distance between the Moon and Earth is 384400 km, Earth's radius re = 6371 km, Moon's radius rm = 1737 km , Earth's gravity = 9.807 m s-2, Moon's gravity = 1.62 ms-2.

When x=0,g=-AD/2 re = 9.807

g=ge.exre+gm.e(Orbsrm+xrm)

When x = Orbs = 384400-6371-1737 = 376292,  g = BD/(2rm) = 1.62 all higher negative power of  e are ignored.  And so we have an expression for gravity between Earth and the Moon

g(x)=-9.807*e^(-x/63.71)+1.62*e^((x-3762.92)/17.31)


This graph has been scaled on the x-axis by 10 km.  It illustrate the gravity between Earth and the Moon.  But still, why wouldn't the Moon falls?
