force of 3.07 x 10-8 N from a 7.50
kg mass. How far are they apart?

Answer 1

0.285 m apart

Answer 2

Answer: Both masses are 0.285 m apart

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of Universal Gravitation:

`F=G((m_(1))(m_(2)))/(d^2)`

Where:

`F=3.07(10)^(-8) N` is the gravitational force between the masses

`G=6.674x10^(-11)(m^(3))/(kgs^(2))`is the gravitational constant

`m_(1)=5 kg` is the mass of the first object

`m_(2)=7.5 kg` is the mass of the second object

`d` is the distance between the objects

Isolating
`d`:

`d=\sqrt{(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(F)}`

`d=\sqrt{((6.674x10^(-11)(m^(3))/(kgs^(2)))(5 kg)(7.5 kg))/(3.07(10)^(-8) N)}`

`d=0.285 m` This is the distance between both objects
