Question

Two objects each with a mass of 5•10^5kg, have a gravitational force of 1.6 N between them. To the nearest meter, what is the distance between the two objects?

Answer 1

Answer:

4.053 meters

Please check my calculations.

Explanation:

See attachment.

F = G(m1m2)/d^2

1.6 kg*m/s^2 = (6.57x10^-11 m^3/kg*s^2)(5x10^5kg)^2/(d^2)

d^2 = = (6.57x10^-11 m^3/kg*s^2)(5x10^5kg)^2

d = 4.053 meters
