Physics help please ;-; . An astronaut has a mass of 82.0 kg. What is the astronaut's stationary weight at a position 4230 kilometers above Earth's surface? Note: Earth's radius is 6380 km and the Earth's mass is 5.972 x 1024 kg.

Two rocks, each of mass 72 kg, are positioned 95 m away from each other in deep space. What is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction between them?

if at the least explain how id work it out.​

Answer:

F =
G*(m_(1) * m_(2) )/(r^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just find the force of gravity.

1) m1 is the mass of earth, m2 is mass of astronaut. r is the earth's radius + astronaut's position in meters. G is the universal constant of gravity.

2) Same as above. m1 is 72 kg, m2 is 72 kg, r is 95 m and G is gravitational constant.
