Find the gravitational force of attraction between two balls each weighing 10 kg, when placed at a distance of 1 meter apart.
Correct answer: A. 6.673 x 10^-9 N
- A. 6.673 x 10^-9 N
- B. 7.71 x 10^-9 N
- C. 8.91 x 10^-9 N
- D. 9.91 x 10^-9 N
- E. 10.31 x 10^-9 N
Explanation
F = (G * m1 * m2) / r2 where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitationalconstant (approximately 6.674 × 10-11 N m2/kg2), m1 and m2 are the masses ofthe objects and r is the distance between their centers. Given that both balls weigh 10 kg and are placed 1 meter apart,we can substitute the values into the formula: F = (6.674 × 10-11 N m2/kg2 * 10 kg * 10 kg) / (1 m)2 F = (6.674 × 10-11 N m2/kg2 * 100 kg2) / 1 m2 F = 6.674 × 10-9 N Therefore, the gravitational force of attraction between thetwo balls weighing 10 kg each, when placed 1 meter apart, is approximately6.674 × 10-9 Newtons.
