Two spherical objects have masses of 8.1 x 10^2kg and 4x.5 10^8kg. The gravitational attraction between them is 1.9 x 10^-3 N.

Let's see

We need distance between them?


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow F=(GMm)/(r^2)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r^2=(GMm)/(F)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r^2=(6.673* 10^(-11)* 8.1* 10^2* 4.5* 10^8kg)/(1.9* 10^(-3))


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r^2=128.02* 10^(2)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r^2=12802


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=√(12802)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=113.14m
