Question

Choose the best description of the attraction between you and your classmate.

A. There is no attractive force
B. It was large enough to feel the attraction
C. extremely small (1.8 x 10-8 N)
D. There is not enough information to answer this question

Answer 1

The correct option is;

D. There is not enough information to answer this question

Step-by-step explanation:

The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ 3³/(kg·s²)

For an in between distance of 1 m and equal masses of 60 kg, we have;

`F = G * (m_(1) * m_(2))/(r^(2)) = 6.67408 * 10^(-11) * (60 * 60)/(1^(2)) \approx 2.403 * 10^(-7) N`

The gravitational attraction ≈ 2.403 × 10⁻⁷ N, which does not correspond with the answers, therefore, the best option is that there is not enough information to answer this question.
