A 38,500 kg sphere is located 2.55 m from a 15,400 kg sphere. What is the gravitational force, rounded to the nearest thousandth of a Newton, between the two spheres?

Respuesta :

The gravitational force between the two spheres is 0.006 N

Explanation:

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

[tex]F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

where

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

[tex]m_1, m_2[/tex] are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

For the two spheres in this problem, we have

[tex]m_1 = 38,500 kg[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = 15,400 kg[/tex]

r = 2.55 m

Substittuting into the equation, we find

[tex]F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(38,500)(15,400)}{2.55^2}=0.006 N[/tex]
