A 3600 kg elephant is 400m away from a 822 kg giraffe. What is the force of gravity between the two animals? (Remember that G is 6.67*10^-11)
Set up the equation:
Force =
x
12
And solve it:

Respuesta :

Given that,

Mass of an elephant, m₁ = 3600 kg

Mass of giraffe, m₂ = 822 kg

The distance between elephant and giraffe, d = 400 m

To find,

The force of gravity between two animals.

Solution,

The formula for the force of gravity is given by the formula as follows :

[tex]F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{3600\times 822}{(400)^2}\\\\=1.23\times 10^{-9}\ N[/tex]

So, the force of gravity is [tex]1.23\times 10^{-9}\ N[/tex].
