Answer to Question #348592 in Atomic and Nuclear Physics for erika miguel

Question

1. Compute the force of attraction between two planets (Planet A and Planet B). The mass of Planet A is 12.34 x 10²⁴ kg and Planet B is 364.25 x 10²⁰ kg and the distance between them is 788,354 km. 

Answer 1

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

$F=6.67*10^{-11}*\frac{12.34*10^{24}*364.25*10^{20}}{(788.354*10^6)^2}\\ =4.82*10^{19}\:\rm N$
