Question

Two laptop computers each have a mass of 2 kg. If they are 0.5 m apart on a desk, what is the gravitational force between them? G = 6.67 × 10-11 N⋅(m/kg)2

Answer 1

1.07x10^-9 N

Explanation: just took the test

Answer 2

`F = 1.067 * 10^(-9) N`

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the gravitational force between two masses is given as

`F = (Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)`

here we know that

`m_1 = m_2 = 2 kg`

also we know that

`r = 0.5 m`

`G = 6.67 * 10^(-11) Nm^2/kg^2`

so the force between two masses is given as

`F = ((6.67 * 10^(-11))(2)(2))/(0.5^2)`

`F = 1.067 * 10^(-9) N`
