1) Two students are sitting 1.50 m apart. One student has a mass of 70.0 kg and the other has a mass of 52.0 kg. What is the gravitational force between them?
2) What gravitational force does the moon produce on the Earth is their centers are 3.88x108 m apart and the moon has a mass of 7.34x1022 kg?
3) If the gravitational force between objects of equal mass is 2.30x10‐8 N when the objects are 10.0 m apart, what is the mass of each object?
4) Calculate the gravitational force on a 6.50x102 kg that is 4.15x106 m above the surface of the Earth?
5) The gravitational force between two objects that are 2.1x10‐1 m apart is 3.2x10‐6 N. If the mass of one object is 55 kg what is the mass of the other object?
6) If two objects, each with a mass of 2.0x102 kg, produce a gravitational force between them of 3.7x10‐6 N. What is the distance between them?
