Mr. Gewanter, whose mass is 60 KG, is doing a physics demo in front of the classroom. How much gravitational force does he exert on 55 KG Martha, 1.5 meters away?

Respuesta :

Answer:

F  = 9.79 x 10⁻⁸ newton

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of Mr. Gewanter, M = 60 Kg

The mass of Martha, m = 55 Kg

The distance between them, d = 1.5 m

The gravitational force between them is given by the formula

                                      F = GMm/d²  newton

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                     F = (6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 60 x 55)/1.5²

                                        = 9.79 x 10⁻⁸ newton

Hence, the gravitational force acting on Martha due to Mr. Gewanter is, F  = 9.79 x 10⁻⁸ newton
