Question

I dont understand this formula I need helpF = 6.67408 * 10^-11 * (1.5 * 10^5) (8.5 * 10^2) ------------------------------ 2500^2

Answer 1

F = 1.36*10^-9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

`F=6.67\ast10^(-11)\ast((1.5\ast10^5)(8.5\ast10^2))/(2500^2)`

To calculate the value of F, you need to multiply 1.5*10^5 by 8.5*10^2 as follows:

`F=6.67\ast10^(-11)\ast(1.275*10^8)/(2500^2)`

Then, 2500² = 2500 x 2500 = 6.25 * 10^6, so replacing the value, we get:

`F=6.67\ast10^(-11)\ast(1.275\ast10^8)/(6.25\ast10^6)`

Now, we need to divide 1.275*10^7 by 6.25*10^6, so

`F=6.67\ast10^(-11)\ast(20.4)`

Finally, multiply 6.67*10^-11 by 20.4, so

`F=1.36\ast10^(-9)`
