Answer:
F = 1.185 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
Explanation:
The force of gravitation between two objects is given by Newton's Law of Gravitation. According to this law:
[tex]F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}\\[/tex]
where,
F = Gravitational Force between satellites = ?
G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
m₁ = m₂ = mass of each satellite = 2000 kg
r = distance between both satellites = 1500 m
Therefore,
[tex]F = \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(2000\ kg)(2000\ kg)}{(1500\ m)^{2}}\\\\[/tex]
F = 1.185 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
