Two tables each have a mass of 29kg If the graviton always force between them is 4.24 x 10 to the power of -10 N how far apart are they? G=6.67 x 10to the power of - 11 N.(m/kg) to the power of two

Answer:

130m

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

  • both tables have a mass of 29kg
  • the gravitational force (F_g I'll call it) is a 4.24×10⁻¹⁰[N]
  • G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹[m³/kg-s²]
  • F_g = GMm/R²); where "M" and "m" are the two object's masses and "R" is the distance between them

With that information, all we need to do here is plug in the known values and then isolate "R" to find the distance between the two tables.

F_g = 4.24×10⁻¹⁰ = (6.67×10⁻¹¹)(29)(29)/R²

R = √[(6.67×10⁻¹¹)(29)(29)/4.24×10⁻¹⁰] = 132.2988...m = 130m
