Two otjocts of masses I kg and 2 kg respectively are placed at a distance of 1 m apart. Find theaoceleration of the bodies procbced due to gravitational force between them.

Answer»

Gravitational Force between two objects,

F = GMm/(d^2)

where F is force, G is gravitational constant, M is mass of object 1, m is mass of object 2, d is the distance between them.

Formula of Force, by Newton's second law.

F = ma

Where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

So

ma = GMm/(d^2)

=> a = GM/(d^2)

Cancelling the smaller mass involved.

=> a = 6.67*(10^(-11))*2/(1^2) = 13.34*10^-11 m/s^2

So, that's the final answer 1.334*10^-10 m/s^2.
