Answer :
The gravitational force between the two students, John and Mike, is 1.31×10¯⁶ N.
The following data were obtained:
Mass of John (M₁) = 81 Kg
Mass of Mike (M₂) = 93 Kg
Distance apart (r) = 0.620 m
Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²
Force (F) =?
The gravitational force between the two students, John and Mike, can be obtained as follow:
F = GM₁M₂ / r²
F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 81 × 93 / 0.62²
F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 7533 / 0.3844
F = 1.31×10¯⁶ N
Therefore, the gravitational force between the two students, John and Mike, is 1.31×10¯⁶ N
