Select the correct answer.
Calculate the force of gravity on a 1–kilogram box located at a point 1.3 × 107 meters from the center of Earth. (The value of G is 6.673 × 10-11 newton meter2/kilogram2. The mass of Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kilograms.)

A.
2.36 newtons
B.
3.58 newtons
C.
4.87 newtons
D.
8.95 newtons

Sagot :

Answer:

A. 2.36 Newtons

Explanation:

F = GmM/d²

F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹(1)(5.98 x 10²⁴) / (1.3 x 10⁷)²

F = 2.36121...

Very poor question design.

  mass of box... 1 significant digit

        distance... 2 significant digits

mass of earth... 3 significant digits

     value of G... 4 significant digits

Answer precision to 3 significant digits is not justifiable
