1. Two spherical objects have masses 447 kg and 285 kg.  Their centers are separated by a distance of 27 m.  Find the gravitational attraction between them.

 

2.Two celestial bodies have masses 3.26 x 105 kg and 6.65 x 103 kg.  The gravitational attraction between them is 61.1 N.  How far apart are their centers?

 

3.Two asteroids have equal masses and experience a gravitational force of 29.2 N towards one another.  Their centers are 38.4 m apart.  Determine each of their masses.

 

4.A 8.15 kg object is located at a distance of 6.47 x 103 km from the center of a larger object whose mass is 5.55 x 1024 kg.  What is the size of the force acting on the smaller object?

All of these equations are solved using the following equation: (from the internet)

 

In each question , you are given all but one of the variables......plug in the values and solve for the unknown variable....

Example: 1      M1 = 447 kg      M2 =285 kg    r = 27 m     and G is given above....plug in all of the values and solve for  Fgrav

 

WATCH out on the last question   distance given is KILOmeters....convert to meters to use in the equation !!!
