<span>Extremely powerful single waves have no effect on ships at sea since the depth of water allows the energy to be distributed over hundreds and thousands of feet. In deep water, the bigger the wave, the faster it moves and the slower the surface changes height. As the wave gets into shallow waters, it slows down and can start to pile up to large heights.</span>

What is the gravitational force between mars and Phobos

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

$F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N$

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of Mars is, $m_M=6.42\times 10^{23}\ kg$

Mass of its moon Phobos, $m_P=1.06\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Distance between Mars and Phobos, d = 9378 km

It is required to find the gravitational force between Mars and Phobos. The force between two masses is given by

$F=G\dfrac{m_Mm_P}{d^2}$

Plugging all values, we get :

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{6.42\times 10^{23}\times 1.06\times 10^{16}}{(9378\times 10^3)^2}\\\\F=5.16\times 10^{15}\ N$

So, the gravitational force is $5.16\times 10^{15}\ N$ .
