Question

object a has a mass of 4.5 x 10^7 kg while object B has a mass of 2.5 x 10^6 kg. what is the gravitational attraction between two objects if the distance between them is 145 m?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.36N

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that the gravitational force that an object feels is directly proportional the product of its mass with the mass creating the field. It also states that the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the distance squared according to the inverse square law. The constant of proportionality is called Newton's gravitation constant denoted with a capital 'G'. We have that:

`F=G((Mm)/(r^2) )`

Plugging in the values, you get:

`F=6.67*10^-^1^1((4.5*10^7*2.5*10^6)/(145^2) )`

`F=0.36N`
