Question

Two 20kg spheres are placed with their

Answer 1

Answer:

F = 1.07 x 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be found by the use of Newton's Gravitational Law:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

where,

F = Gravitational Force of attraction = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m₁ = m₂ = mass of spheres = 20 kg

r = distance between the objects = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Therefore,

$F = \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(20\ kg)(20\ kg)}{(0.5\ m)^2}$

F = 1.07 x 10⁻⁷ N
