Two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of magnitude 1.02 10-8 N when separated by 19.7 cm. If the total mass
of the two objects is 5.14 kg, what is the mass of each
2 answers:
Answer:
The two masses are 3.39 Kg and 1.75 Kg
Explanation:
The gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is given by the formula;
F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where G is the gravitational force constant = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ Nm²Kg⁻²
m₁ = mass of first object; m₂ = mass of second object; d = distance of separation between the objects

Similar to an ordinary object in the uniform gravitational field near the Earth's surface, a charged item in a uniform electric field experiences a constant force and consequently experiences a uniform acceleration. The vector cross product of p and E determines the torque's direction.
If the charge is positive, the force either moves in the same direction as E or in the opposite direction (if charge is negative).
A torque is experienced by an electric dipole (p) in an even electric field (E). The vector cross product of p and E determines the torque's direction.
