Force due to gravity between the two objects = 7.35 × 10⁻⁹ N
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of first planet = 50,000 kg
Mass of second plant = 24,000 Kg
Distance between these two planets =3300 m
To Find
Force due to gravity between the two planets = ?
Formula to be used:
Newton's law of gravitation( F) = [tex]$\frac{Gm1m2}{r^2}[/tex]
Solution:
Using the given masses of the 2 planets and the distance between them, we can find the force between the 2 planets by using this formula,
F = [tex]$\frac{Gm1m2}{r^2}[/tex]
Here,
m1 and m2 are the masses of the 2 planets
r is the distance between the 2 planets
plugin the values as, m1 = 50,000 kg,
m2= 24,000 kg and r = 3300 m
and g is the gravitational constant whose value is 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ s⁻²kg⁻¹ as,
F = [tex]$\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 50,000\times 24,000}{3300^2}[/tex] = 7.35 × 10⁻⁹ N
