Explanation:

The force between two objects in space can be calculated using the formula:

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

Where:

F = force between the two objects

G = gravitational constant (6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2)

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between the two objects

So, in this case:

F = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 * (34000 kg * 15000 kg) / (67000 m)^2

To calculate the force between the two asteroids, we need to substitute the values for m1, m2, and r into the formula.

F = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 * (34000 kg * 15000 kg) / (67000 m)^2

F = (2.25 x 10^-5 N)

So the force between the two asteroids is 2.25 x 10^-5 N.
