Question: What is the gravitational force between two objects of masses 5 kg and 10 kg separated by a distance of 2 m?
Options:
Correct Answer: 1.25 x 10^-9 N
Solution:
Using Newton\'s law of gravitation, F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2, m1 = 5 kg, m2 = 10 kg, r = 2 m. F = (6.67 x 10^-11) * (5 * 10) / (2^2) = 1.25 x 10^-9 N.
