Question 714283: What is the gravitational force between following two objects: Object A is 7.0 X 10^30kg and Object B is 1.0 X 10^9kg. The two objects are 5,000 km apart.

Answer by KMST(5328)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The force  is calculated by the formula
 ,
based on the masses involved,
 and  ,
the distance,  , between them,
and the gravitational constant,
   
The force is 18.7 hexillion Newtons.
I am using "hexillion" in the sense I learned in the USA.
Some countries may still use a different name for  ,
such as a thousand trillions, because sadly,
not even in math we can all agree,
and a billion used not to be the same number everywhere.

------------
F = G*m1*m2/d^2
F = G*7E30*1E9/(5E6)^2
G = 6.673×10-11 N-m^2/kg^2
-------
F = 6.673*7E28/(25E12)
F = 1.8684E16 Newtons
or 1.8684*10^16 Newtons
---------------------
PS The other tutor's answer is for 5000 meters, not 5000 km
