Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The distance between a 40-kg person and a 30-kg person is 2 m. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force each exerts on the other. Universal constant = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2
Known :
m1 = 40 kg, m2 = 30 kg, r = 2 m, G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2
Wanted : the magnitude of gravitational force (F) ?
