Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Semi truck mass M = 20000kg

Car mass m = 2000 kg

Distance d = 10 m

G = (0.667 10-11 N•m²/kg)

The gravitational force between them can be expressed as

F = GMm/r^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

F = (0.667 10-11 × 20000 × 2000)/ 10^2

F = 2.668×10^-4/100

F = 2.668 × 10^-6 N

Therefore, the force of gravity between them is 26.7 × 10 ^-5 N approximately
