Two rocks sitting in the field are 200m apart. If the two rocks have a mass of 75Kg and 100Kg respectively, what is the gravitional force between them? Answer now pls!!
To calculate the gravitational force between two objects, we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
F is the gravitational force between the two objects,
G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.67430 × 10^(-11) m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2)),
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and
r is the distance between the centers of the two objects.
In this case, the masses are given as 75 kg and 100 kg, and the distance between the rocks is 200 m.
Plugging in the values:
F = (6.67430 × 10^(-11) m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2)) * (75 kg * 100 kg) / (200 m)^2
Simplifying:
F = (6.67430 × 10^(-11) m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2)) * (7500 kg^2) / 40000 m^2
F = (6.67430 × 10^(-11) m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2)) * 0.1875 kg
Now we can calculate the gravitational force:
F = 1.251794 × 10^(-11) N
Therefore, the gravitational force between the two rocks is approximately 1.25 × 10^(-11) Newtons.
