Answer:
5.28 x 10⁻⁹N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of alien = 71kg
Distance = 670m
Mass of ship = 500000kg
Unknown:
Gravitational attraction = ?
Solution:
The gravitational attraction can be found using the Universal gravitation law proposed by Newton;
Fg = [tex]\frac{G x mass 1 x mass 2}{d^{2} }[/tex]
G is the universal gravitation constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹
d is the distance
Fg is the gravitational attraction
Fg = [tex]\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 71 x 500000 }{670^{2} }[/tex] = 5.28 x 10⁻⁹N
