Calculate the force of gravity between a 2.50 kg newborn baby and a 80.0 kg doctor standing 0.250 m away. G = 6.67 E -11 N*m2/kg2 Remember to include your data, equation, and work when solving this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[F=\frac{gm_1m_2}{r^2}\] isnt this the equation for gravitational force this is completely from memory so it could be wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so does that solve your problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i plug it in i can solve it than

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m1 = mass of object 1 or baby m2=mass of object 2 or doctor g= gravitational constant r= distance between 2 objects

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F= force, usually in newtons depending on gravitational constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fg = [(6.67 E -11 N*m^2/kg^2 )(2.50 kg)(80.0 kg)]/(0.250)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kg is a unit of mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m is a unit of distance

yes now grab a calculator
