Question

Planet A has a mass of 2.25 x 1020 kg, while planet B has a
mass of 6.20 x 1018 kg. What is the gravitational attraction
between two planets if the distance between them is
435,500 km? Estimate G as 6.67 x 10-11 N (m/kg)

Answer 1

Answer:

4905.95 N

Explanation:

F= G m1 m2 / (r^2)

  = 6.67 x 10^-11   *  2.25 * 10^20 * 6.2 * 10^10 / ( 435 500 000)^2 =

( be sure to use meters    NOT kilometers !)

Answer 2

The gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N

What is gravitational attraction?

When two objects with masses are placed at a distance, there will an attractive force acting between them.

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is

F = Gm₁m₂ /r²

where r is the distance between the masses m₁ and m₂ and  G is the gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²

Substitute the values into the expression, we get

F =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x  2.25 x 10²⁰ x 6.20 x 10¹⁸ / (435,500 x 1000)²

F= 4905.95 N

Thus, the gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N.
