Two dump trucks each have a mass of 1,500 kg. The distance of the dump truck
is 50m. What will the new gravitational force be between them?


Sagot :

Answer:

6.00 x 10⁻⁸N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of each dump trucks  = 1500kg

Distance between them  = 50m

Unknown:

New gravitational force between them = ?

Solution:

From Newton's law of universal gravitation,

        F = [tex]\frac{G m1 m2}{r^{2} }[/tex]  

F is the gravitational force

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

r is the distance

           F  = [tex]\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 1500 x 1500}{50^{2} }[/tex]    = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸N
