A 235 kg object and a 1.37×1012 kg are located 2.59×104 m away from each other. What is the force due to gravity between the two objects?

Respuesta :

Answer:

F = 3.2 x 10⁻⁵ N

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between the two objects is given by Newton's Gravitational law through the following formula:

[tex]F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

where,

F = gravitational force = ?

G = Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

m₁ = mass of object 1 = 235 kg

m₂ = mass of object 2 = 1.37 x 10¹² kg

r = distance between objects = 2.59 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

[tex]F = \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(235\ kg)(1.37\ x\ 10^{12}\ kg)}{(2.59\ x\ 10^{4}\ m)^{2}}[/tex]

F = 3.2 x 10⁻⁵ N

Answer:

the force due to gravity between the two objects is 3.2 x 10⁻⁵ N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first object, m₁ = 235 kg

mass of the second object, m₂ = 1.37 x 10¹² kg

distance between the two object, r = 2.59 x 10⁴ m

The gravitational force between the two object is calculated as;

[tex]F= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

where;

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

[tex]F= \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(235)(1.37\times 10^{12})}{(2.59\times 10^4)^2} \\\\F = 3.2 \times 10^{-5} \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the force due to gravity between the two objects is 3.2 x 10⁻⁵ N.
