Question

Calculate the gravitational force on a 6.7 x 10^18 kilogram object that is

2.88 x 10^8 meters away from Earth (Hint: Use mass of Earth and add this
distance to the radius of Earth given in Equations table). Give correct units
with your answer. *

Answer 1

Explanation:

The gravitational force can be calculated with the formula:

Fg=GMm/R2(means R raises to power 2)

where:

Fg=gravitational force

G=gravitational constant

M=mass of Earth

m=mass of object

R=distance from earth's centre to object's centre

YOU can use this formula is

F = G m1m2/d2
