suppose that the two person,each of mass 100kg are 3meter a part in outer space.what is the magnitude of the gravitational
To calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects, we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation. According to this law, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
The formula for the magnitude of the gravitational force (F) is given as:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
F is the gravitational force between the two 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 two objects, and
r is the distance between their centers.
In this case, each person has a mass of 100 kg, and they are 3 meters apart. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
F = (6.67430 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2) * (100 kg * 100 kg) / (3 m)^2
Calculating this expression will give us the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two persons in outer space.
