The sun has a mass of 1.99 x 10-30 kg. Saturn has a
mass of 5.68 x 10^26 kg. The distance between the sun
and Saturn is 1.43 x 10^12 m. Calculate the gravitational
force between the sun and Saturn.

Respuesta :

Answer: The gravitational  force between the sun and Saturn is [tex]3.69\times 10^{22}N[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

where F = gravitational force  = ?

G = gravitational constant = [tex]6.674\times 10^{-11} Nm^2kg^{-2}[/tex]

[tex]m_1[/tex] = mass of sun = [tex]1.99\times 10^{30}kg[/tex]

[tex]m_2[/tex] = mass of saturn = [tex]5.68\times 10^{26}kg[/tex]

r = distance between sun and saturn = [tex]1.43\times 10^{12}m[/tex]

[tex]F=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}Nm^2kg^{-2}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}kg\times 5.68\times 10^{26}kg}{(1.43\times 10^{12}m)^2}[/tex]

[tex]F=3.69\times 10^{-90}N[/tex]

Thus the gravitational  force between the sun and Saturn is [tex]3.69\times 10^{22}N[/tex]
