Two metal balls have their centers 2.0 meters apart. One has a mass of 6.0 kg, and the other has a mass of 8.0 kg. Choose the operation that will calculate the gravitational force between them.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]F_G=\frac{G\times 6kg\times 8kg}{(2m)^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Gravity:

[tex]F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

m1 mass of object 1

m2 mass of object 2

r distance between the center of the two masses

G gravitational constant

The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses of objects. The gravitational force between two given metal balls is [tex]\rm 8.004 \times 10^{-10} \rm \ Nm^2/kg^2[/tex].

To find the gravitational force, use Newton's law of universal gravitation,

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

Where,

[tex]F[/tex] = force

[tex]G[/tex] = gravitational constant = [tex]6.67 \times 10^{-11} \rm \ Nm^2/kg^2[/tex]

[tex]m_1[/tex] = mass of object 1 = 6 kg

[tex]m_2[/tex] = mass of object 2 = 8 kg

[tex]r[/tex] = distance between centers of the masses = 2 m

Put the values in the formula,

[tex]F =6.67 \times 10^{-11} \rm \ Nm^2/kg^2 \dfrac {6 \times 8}{2^2}\\\\\it F= \rm 8.004 \times 10^{-10} \rm \ Nm^2/kg^2[/tex]

Therefore, the gravitational force between two given metal balls is [tex]\rm 8.004 \times 10^{-10} \rm \ Nm^2/kg^2[/tex].
