What is the gravitational force between two trucks, each with a mass of 2.0 x 10^4 kg, that are 2.0m apart? (G=6.673 x 10^-11 N•m^2/kg^2)

Respuesta :

Firs we will use the next formula

[tex]F=G\text{ }\frac{m_1\cdot m^{}_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where G is the gravitational force, m nd m2 are the masses and r is the distance between the masses

In our case

m1=m2= 2.0 x 10^4 kg

r= 2m

G=6.673 x 10^-11 N•m^2/kg^2

We substitute

[tex]F=6.673\times10^{-11}\cdot\frac{2.0x10^4\cdot2.0x10^4}{2^2}=0.0066743N=6.7\times10^{-3}[/tex]

ANSWER

The gravitational force is 0.00667=6.7x10^-3N
