Question

Calculate the force of gravitation between the Mars and Jupiter, given that the mass of the

Mars is 6.4 × 1023 kg and of the Jupiter is 2 × 1027 kg. The average distance between Mars

and Jupiter is 7.2 × 105 m. ( Take G = 6.7× 10 -11 Nm2 kg-2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.7×10-11Nm2kg

Explanation:

That depends on their relative positions, which are constantly changing. A maximum and minimum distance can be calculated from their orbits. The AVERAGE distance between Mars and Jupiter is 3.68 AU.

Explanation:

No planet has a perfectly circular orbit around the sun and therefore the distance between each planet can take on two very extreme numbers. The AVERAGE distance between Mars and Jupiter is 3.68 AU. That's approximately 550,390,000 km or 342,012,346 miles.
