Question

Explain the method to determine the distance of a planet from the earth​

Answer 1

Explanation:

As we studied about gravitational force between any two masses ,depends upon the distance between the two masses.

let two masses be m1 and m2 respectively and distance between them =r

Force of attraction = G m1m2/r^2

Where,G is universal gravitational constant.

=> F /Gm1m2 = r^2

=> r = root F/rootGm1m2
