Two spherical objects have masses of 2.5 x 107 kg and 7.5 x105 kg. Their centers are separated by a distance of 5200 m. Find the gravitationalattraction between them.

Respuesta :

Given data

*The spherical object has a mass is m_1 = 2.5 × 10^7 kg

*The other spherical object has a mass is m_2 = 7.5 × 10^7 kg

*The separation distance between them is r = 5200 m

The formula for the gravitational attraction force between them is given as

[tex]F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

*Here G is the gravitational constant.

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\frac{(6.67\times10^{-11})(2.5\times10^7)(7.5\times10^7)}{(5200)^2} \\ =4.62\times10^{-3}\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the gravitational attraction force between them is F = 4.62 × 10^-3 N
