Question

Question 35:

Answer 1

Answer:

4.02×10^-9 N

Explanation:

Two objects say m1 and m2 have masses of 50kg and 120kg respectively.

The formula of gravitational force of two objects having different masses m1 and m2 are:

F= (G×m1×m2)/r2

r is the distance between two objects of masses m1 and m2 respectively.

G is the gravitational constant universally where its value is 6.67×10^-11 N m^2/ kg^2

Therefore the force of attraction between two objects having different masses m1 and m2 can be deducted by the above stated formula.

F=[ (6.67× 10^-11)×50×120]/10^2

= 4.02× 10^-9 N

Hence the force of attraction between these two objects are 4.02×10^-9 N.
