To solve this problem, we must know the gravitational force of the planet. The equation would be,
This would calculate the force between two objects with masses m1 and m2 and the gravitational constant, G, is 6.67 x 10^-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 and with r as the distance between the objects.
Thus,
F = (6.67 x 10^-11 m3 s-2 kg-1) * (5.68 x 10^26 kg) * (65 kg) * ((1/6.03 x 10^7 m)^2)
F = 678 kg/s^2 or 678 N
Answer is letter B.
Answer:
171.5 N
Explanation:
The gravitational force on an object due to the Earth is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
The acceleration due to gravity at a certain height h above the Earth is given by
where:
G is the gravitational constant
is the Earth's mass
is the Earth's radius
Here,
So the acceleration due to gravity is
We know that the mass of the object is
m = 70 kg
So, the gravitational force on it is
