Question

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between two 1-kg bodies that are 1 m apart?

Answer 1

`6.67\cdot 10^(-11) N`

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

`F=G(m_1 m_2)/(r^2)`

where

`G=6.67\cdot 10^(-11) m^3 kg^(-1)s^(-2)` is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

In this problem, we have:

m1 = m2 = 1 kg

r = 1 m

Substituting into the equation, we find

`F=(6.67\cdot 10^(-11))((1 kg)(1 kg))/((1 m)^2)=6.67\cdot 10^(-11) N`
