Question

he gravitational force between two objects of masses m1m1m_1 and m2m2m_2 that are separated by distance rrr is

Answer 1

`F = (6.67408m_1 m_2)/(10^(11)r^2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Object_1 = m_1`

`Object_2 = m_2`

`Distance = r`

Required

Determine the force of attraction

This is calculated as:

`F = (GMm)/(d^2)`

Where

M = mass of object 1

m = mass of object 2

d = distance

Where G = gravitational constant

`G = 6.67408 * 10^(-11)\ m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2)`

Substitute these values in

`F = (GMm)/(d^2)`

`F = (6.67408 * 10^(-11) * m_1 * m_2)/(r^2)`

`F = (6.67408 * m_1 * m_2* 10^(-11))/(r^2)`

`F = (6.67408m_1 m_2* 10^(-11))/(r^2)`

`F = (6.67408m_1 m_2)/(10^(11)*r^2)`

`F = (6.67408m_1 m_2)/(10^(11)r^2)`
