1.Two balls, each with a mass of 0.871 kg,

Question

exert a gravitational force of 8.23 × 10−11 N
on each other.
How far apart are the balls? The value
of the universal gravitational constant is
6.673 × 10−11 Nm2/kg2.
Answer in units of m
I got .785 which is correct.

Mars has a mass of about 6.56 × 1023 kg,
and its moon Phobos has a mass of about
9.2 × 1015 kg.
If the magnitude of the gravitational force
between the two bodies is 4.68 × 1015 N,
how far apart are Mars and Phobos? The
value of the universal gravitational constant
is 6.673 × 10−11 N · m2/kg2.
Answer in units of m

Don't get this.

Answer 1

The answer is 9.37 × 10^6 m. To solve this, use the equation F = G*m1*m2/r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies, and r is the distance between them. Rearrange the equation to solve for r, and plug in the given values.
