ANSWER:-
The gravitational attraction between the Earth and Mars is 8.7 x 1016 N. The distance between the two planets is 5.5 x 1010m. Earth has a mass of 6.0 x 1024 kg.
Given: Two planets Earth and Mars are present
To find: Gravitational force of attraction between them
Explanation: Gravitational force acts between two masses irrespective of the distance between them. Here, Earth and Mars are far apart but a gravitational force attracts them.
Mass of Earth= 6* 10^24kg
Mass of Mars= 6.4 * 10^23kg
Distance between them= 5.5* 10^10 m
Gravitational force of attraction id is given by the formula: Gm1m2/r^2 where G is a constant whose value is 6.67* 10^-11.
Using,
= 8.4* 10^16 N
Therefore, the force of gravitational attraction between them is 8.4* 10^16 N.
