Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two objects are placed at a distance of 1 m apart, what is the gravitational force between them if both have a mass of 1 kg?
  • Step 1: Identify the masses of the two objects. Here, both masses (m1 and m2) are 1 kg.
  • Step 2: Identify the distance between the two objects. The distance (r) is 1 meter.
  • Step 3: Use the gravitational constant (G), which is approximately 6.67 x 10^-11 N(m^2/kg^2).
  • Step 4: Plug the values into the gravitational force formula: F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2.
  • Step 5: Calculate the product of the masses: m1 * m2 = 1 kg * 1 kg = 1 kg^2.
  • Step 6: Calculate the square of the distance: r^2 = (1 m)^2 = 1 m^2.
  • Step 7: Substitute the values into the formula: F = (6.67 x 10^-11) * (1) / (1).
  • Step 8: Simplify the equation: F = 6.67 x 10^-11 N.
