Help Please! The force of gravity, F, exerted between two objects is equal to the product of the gravitational constant, G, the mass of the first object, m1, and the mass of the second object, m2, divided by the square of the distance between their centers, d. This is often used to determine the gravitational attraction between two massive bodies, such as planets, in space. Write the formula for F described in the situation above.

You just need to translate these words into equation.

Draw a picture of the planets

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

This is not a physics problem!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

The person just needs to write that as an equation;)

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

Well a pic never hurts.XD
