1.The gravitational force between two bodies of masses 5*10^2 kg and 2*10^3 kg separated by a distance of 2*10^3 m is
Answers
EXPLANATION.
The gravitational force between two bodies
of masses = 5 X 10² kg and 2 X 10³ kg
seperate by a distance = 2 X 10³
To find the force.
mass of first body = M1 = 5 X 10² kg
mass of second body = M2 = 2 X 10³ kg
Distance = d = 2 X 10³ m
Formula of gravitational force.
Explanation:
According to Law of Gravitation:
Force is directly proportional to mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
→ F = Gm1m2/r²
From above we have, m1 is 5 × 10^2 kg, m2 is 2 × 10^3 kg, r is 2 × 10^3 m and G is 6.67 × 10^-11 Nm/kg²
Substitute the values,
→ F = (6.67 × 10^-11 × 5 × 10^2 × 2 × 10^3)/(2 × 10^3)²
→ F = (6.67 × 10 × 10^(-11 + 5))/(4 × 10^6)
→ F = 1.6675 × 10 × 10^(-6 - 6)
→ F = 1.6675 × 10^(-12 + 1)
→ F = 1.6675 × 10^-11 N
Hence, the gravitational force between them is 1.6675 × 10^-11N.
