Two objects of masses 80kg and 50kg are separated by a distance of 0.2m. If the gravitational constant is 6.6 x 10
-11Nm
kg, calculate the gravitational attraction between them.
-
A.
4.9 x 10-9N
-
B.
1.3 x 10-6N
-
C.
6.6 x 10-8N
-
D.
6.6 x 10-6N
-
E.
2.6 x 10-9N
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
F = \(\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-11} \times 80 \times 50}{0.2 \times 0.2}\)
= 6.6 x 10-6N
