Question

Two spherical objects have masses of 350 kg and 750 kg. Their centers are separated

by a distance of 3.2 m. Find the gravitational attraction between them

Answer 1

Answer:
`F=1.71(10)N^(-6) N`

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's law of Universal Gravitation we have:

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

Where:

`F` is the gravitational attraction force between the spherical objects

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

`m_(1)=350 kg` is the mass of the first object

`m_(2)=750 kg` is the mass of the second object

`d=3.2 m` is the distance between the objects

Solving the equation:

`F=6.674x10^(-11)(m^(3))/(kgs^(2))((350 kg)(750 kg))/((3.2 m)^2)`

`F=1.71(10)N^(-6) N` This is the gravitational attraction between both objects
