What is the approximate value of the gravitational force between a 73 kg astronaut and a 7.1×104 kg spacecraft when they're 89 m apart?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons[/tex]

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two corpses is given by the following equation:

[tex]F = GMm/d^2[/tex]

Where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant

([tex]G = 6.67408*10^{-11}\ m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}[/tex]), M and m are the masses of the corpses and d is the distance between them.

So we have that:

[tex]F = 6.67408*10^{-11} * 7.1*10^4 * 73/89^2[/tex]

[tex]F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons[/tex]
