Question

Q1) Calculate the gravitational force between two large trucks, each with a mass of 6500 kg, if

they are parked next to each other separated by a distance of 0.5 m Ignore all other
gravitational forces.

Answer 1

F = 0.0112 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Masses,
`m_1=m_2=6500\ kg`

The distance between masses, d = 0.5 m

We need to find the gravitational force between two large trucks. The formula for the gravitational forces is given by :

`F=G(m^2)/(r^2)\\\\F=6.67* 10^(-11)* (6500^2)/((0.5)^2)\\\\F=0.0112\ N`

So, the required force between masses is equal to 0.0112 N.
