Answer:


6.67* 10^(-11)N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mass of the two objects (m₁ and m₂) = 5 kg

Distance between the two objects (r) = 5 m

Also, we know that Universal Gravitational Constant (G) =
6.67* 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Gravitational Force (F) between the objects is,


F = (G* m_(1)* m_(2))/(r^(2))


F = (6.67* 10^(-11)* 5* 5)/(5^(2))


F = 6.67* 10^(-11)

Thus the magnitude of the gravitational force is
6.67* 10^(-11)N
