Help Please!!!

(a) What is the force of gravity between two 1170 kg cars separated by a distance of 28 m on an interstate highway?
___________ N


Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]1.16\cdot 10^{-7} N[/tex]

Explanation:

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

[tex]F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is their separation

In this problem, we have

m1 = m2 = 1170 kg is the mass of each car

r = 28 m is their separation

Substituting,

[tex]F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} )\frac{(1170 kg)^2}{(28 m)^2}=1.16\cdot 10^{-7} N[/tex]

Force is the product of mass and acceleration. The Force between the two-car is 1.1646 x 10⁻⁷ N.

What is force?

Force can be defined as an influence that can change the motion of an object. It can be given by the formula,

F = m x a

Given to us

Masses of the car, m = 1170 kg

Distance between the car, d = 28 m

We know that according to the force of gravity,

[tex]F = G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}[/tex]

G = gravitational constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²),

m₁ = mass of object 1

m₂ = the mass of object 2

d = distance between two objects

Substitute the values,

[tex]F = (6.67 \times 10^{-11})\dfrac{1170 \times 1170}{28^2}\\\\F = 1.1646 \times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]

Hence, the Force between the two-car is 1.1646 x 10⁻⁷ N.
