Question

A 3600 kg elephant is 400m away from a 822 kg giraffe. What is the force of gravity between the two animals? (Remember that G is 6.67*10^-11)

Set up the equation:
Force =
x
12
And solve it:

Answer 1

Given that,

Mass of an elephant, m₁ = 3600 kg

Mass of giraffe, m₂ = 822 kg

The distance between elephant and giraffe, d = 400 m

To find,

The force of gravity between two animals.

Solution,

The formula for the force of gravity is given by the formula as follows :

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(r^2)\\\\F=6.67* 10^(-11)* (3600* 822)/((400)^2)\\\\=1.23* 10^(-9)\ N`

So, the force of gravity is
`1.23* 10^(-9)\ N`.
