Two massive objects are placed with their centers 2.50x10^4 m apart. If the first object has a mass of 1.5x10^22kg and the other object has a mass of 2.6x10^24kg, at what acceleration will each of the objects move towards each other at? (you will need to calculate two separate accelerations).

Answer 1

use the universal gravitational equation
... to find the force between the two objects

both objects experience the same force

since f = m a
... their accelerations are inversely proportional to their masses
