What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on a 1.0 kg object which is 1.0 m from another 1.0 kg object?

To calculate the gravitational force between two objects, we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula is:

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

where:

• F is the force between the masses,
• G is the gravitational constant,
• m1 and m2 are the two masses,
• r is the distance between the centers of the two masses.

Given in the problem:

• G = 6.674 * 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2,
• m1 = 1.0 kg,
• m2 = 1.0 kg,
• r = 1.0 m.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

F = 6.674 * 10^-11 * (1.0 * 1.0) / 1.0^2 F = 6.674 * 10^-11 N.

So, the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on a 1.0 kg object which is 1.0 m from another 1.0 kg object is 6.674 * 10^-11 N.
