Question

two spherical objects have masses of 200 kg and 500 kg. their centers are separated by a distance of 25 m. find the gravitational attraction between them a f=gm1m2r2, where: f = gravitational force (n); g = gravitational constant (~6.67·10 - 11nm2kg - 2; m1 and m2 = masses of objects 1 and 2. = 6.67×10^ - 11(200×500)/( (25)^2 ) = 1.0672×10^ - 8n b na

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Newton's law of universal gravitation formula \(F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\), where \(G = 6.67\times10^{- 11}\space Nm^{2}/kg^{2}\), \(m_1 = 200\space kg\), \(m_2=500\space kg\), \(r = 25\space m\)

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula

Answer:

The gravitational attraction between them is \(1.0672\times 10^{-8}\space N\)
