Question

Two astronauts of mass 100 kg are 2 m apart in outer space. What is the

Answer 1

The force of gravity between the astronauts is $1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have two astronauts, whose masses are:

$m_1 = 100 kg\\m_2 = 100 kg$

While the separation between the astronauts is

r = 2 m

Substituting into the equation, we can find the gravitational force between the two astronauts:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(100)(100)}{2^2}=1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$
