Planet RMM-1 has a mass of 28,500 kg and the star it revolves around has
a mass of 2.20 x 10^8 kg. If the star emits a gravitational force of 39 N how
far away are the two objects from each other?

Sagot :

AL2006

Gravitational force = G · (mass₁) · (mass₂) / (distance)

(distance²) = G · (mass₁) · (mass₂) / (Gravitational force)

G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ n-m² / kg²  (the "gravitational constant")

Distance²  = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ n-m² / kg²) (28,500 kg) (2.2 x 10⁸ kg) / (39 N)

Distance² = (6.67 · 28,500 · 2.2 x 10⁻³ N-m²) / (39N)

Distance²  =  (418.209 N-m²) / (39N)

Distance²  =  10.72 m²

Distance = 3.275 meters

An absurd scenario, but that's by golly what the math says with the numbers provided.  I guess it's a teeny tiny planet orbiting 3.275 meters outside a teeny tiny black hole.
