Question

What is the magnitude of the force of gravity between to 1000 kg cars which are separated by distance of 25. 0 km on an interstate highway? The force between the two cars will be what

Answer 1

=1.068 ×10⁻¹³N

Step-by-step explanation:

Force of gravity =Gm₁m₁/d² where G is the universal gravitation constant =G = 6.673 x 10-11 N m²/kg², m₁ and m₂ is the mass of object 1 and 2 respectively and d is the distance between them. First we change the distance into SI units i.e meters 25 km= 25000 m

F= (6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²×1000 kg×1000 kg)/ (25000 m)²

=1.068 ×10⁻¹³N
