A bowling ball (mass = 7.2 kg, radius = 0.12 m) and a billiard ball (mass = 0.31 kg, radius = 0.028 m) may each be treated as uniform spheres. What is the magnitude of the maximum gravitational force that each can exert on the other?
That would be when they are in contact, with the centers separated by a distance
d = r1 + r2 = 0.148 m
For that separation,
F = G m1*m2/d^2
where G is the universal constant of gravity,
G = 6.67*10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2
good i get it,it seem difficult but not

Well, the maximum gravitational force between the bowling ball and the billiard ball can be calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation. However, I must say, this is a rather serious question for a clown like me!
But hey, I'm always up for a challenge. So here we go!
The formula for gravitational force is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2), m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between their centers.
Substituting the given values, we have:
For the bowling ball and the billiard ball:
F = (6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2) * ((7.2 kg) * (0.31 kg)) / (2 * (0.12 m + 0.028 m))^2
Calculating this out will give you the magnitude of the maximum gravitational force that each ball can exert on the other.
But hey, don't try using gravity to pick up a billiard ball with a bowling ball. It might not end well, trust me!
To find the magnitude of the maximum gravitational force between the two spheres, we can use Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which states that the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:
F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
- F is the force of gravity between the objects
- G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.67430 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2)
- m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects
- r is the distance between their centers of mass.
In this case, we have a bowling ball and a billiard ball. Let's denote the bowling ball as object 1 and the billiard ball as object 2. Given that the masses of the objects are 7.2 kg and 0.31 kg respectively, and their radii are 0.12 m and 0.028 m respectively, we need to calculate the distance between their centers of mass.
The distance between the centers of mass of two spheres is equal to the sum of their radii. Therefore, the distance (r) between the centers of mass of the bowling ball and the billiard ball is:
r = 0.12 m + 0.028 m = 0.148 m
Now we can plug in the values into the equation:
F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2
= (6.67430 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2) * (7.2 kg) * (0.31 kg) / (0.148 m)^2
Calculating this expression will give us the magnitude of the maximum gravitational force between the two objects.
