The mass of the jupiter is 19*10^26kg &the mass of the earth is 6*10^24kg.if the distance between the jupiter &earth is 6.29*10^6km.what will be the gravitational force between these two masses?

Final answer:

The gravitational force between Jupiter and Earth can be calculated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. The force is approximately 1.98 x 10²⁷N.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the gravitational force between two masses, we can use Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. The formula is given by:

F = G × (m1 ×m2) / r²

Where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹N m²/kg²), m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them.

Using the given masses and distance, the calculation would be:

  1. Convert the distance between Jupiter and Earth from km to meters: 6.29 x 10^6 km = 6.29 x 10^9 m
  2. Plug the values into the formula: F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹N m²/kg²) × ((19 x 10²⁶kg) ×(6 x 10²⁴ kg)) / (6.29 x 10⁹ m)²
  3. Calculate the result using a calculator.

The gravitational force between Jupiter and Earth is approximately 1.98 x 10²⁷ N.
