Question

what is the magnitude of the gravitational force on each mass when m1=600 kg m2=400 kg, and their centers are 6 m apart? (choices shown in image)​

Edit: I didn't realize there is a simulation for this question, so I used the simulation and got 4.45 x 10^-7, if anybody needs the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

4.45×10¯⁷ N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass 1 (M₁) = 600 Kg

Mass 2 (M₂) = 400 Kg

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²Kg¯²

Sperating distance (r) = 6 m

Force (F) =.?

The gravitational force can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 600 × 400 / 6²

F = 1.6008×10¯⁵ / 36

F = 4.45×10¯⁷ N

Therefore, the gravitational force is 4.45×10¯⁷ N
