Tom's mass is 70 kg and Sally's mass is 50.0 kg. Tom and Sally are standing 20.0 m apart on the dance floor. Sally looks up and sees Tom. She faels an attraction. Supposing that the attraction is gravitational, find its size. 292times 10^11 5.83times 10^-10 B75N 5.83times 10^-11

Question

Answer 1

To find the gravitational attraction between Tom and Sally, we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation:

where:-

is the gravitational force,-

is the gravitational constant, approximately

,-

and

are the masses of the two objects (Tom and Sally),-

is the distance between the centers of the two masses.Given:-

(Tom's mass),-

(Sally's mass),-

.Substitute these values into the formula:

Rounding to three significant figures, the gravitational force is approximately:

The closest answer choice is

.
