What is the force of gravity between two 832 kg cars separated by a distance of 29.35 m on an interstate highway?
To calculate the force of gravity between two objects, you need to use the formula for the gravitational force:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
F is the force of gravity
G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.67430 x 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2)
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the distance between the centers of the two objects
In this case, you have two cars with a mass of 832 kg each (m1 = 832 kg, m2 = 832 kg) and a distance of 29.35 m (r = 29.35 m).
Using the values in the formula, we can calculate the force of gravity between the two cars:
F = (6.67430 x 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2) * (832 kg * 832 kg) / (29.35 m)^2
Now, let's plug in these values into a calculator to find the answer.
