Questions;

1. Calculate the gravitational force between two 50 kg objects if they are 7.5 x 10^-1 m apart?

2. the gravitational force between two objects are 2.1 x 10^-1 m apart is 3.2 x 10^-6 N. if the mass of one object is 55 kg, what is the mass of the other object?

3. Two students are sitting 1.5 m apart. one student has a mass of 70 kg and the other 52 kg. what is the gravitational force between them?

4. if two objects, each with a mass of 2 x 10^2, produces a gravitational force between of 3.7 x 10^-6, what is the distance between them?

5. on the surface of planet X an object has a weight of 63.5 N and a mass of 22.5 kg. what is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of planet X?

6. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. it has a mass of 1.9 x 10^27 kg and a radius of 7.18 x 10^7 m. What is the acceleration due to gravityof an object near jupiters surface?

7. If two objects with a mass of 215 kg, produce a gravitational force between them of 5.3 x 10^-6 N, what is the distance between them?

These are questions that I'm confused with, and can't seem to get a right answer.

Thank you

This seem like they can all be answered using one general equation. Do you have an idea of what that equation is?
 
These are all related to the same equation:

<br /> F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}<br />

where G is the gravitational constant: G=6.67\times10^{-11} m3kg-1s-2. Each question uses this formula, though questions 5 and 6 require further that F=ma.
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
