The mass of Mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg. Its moon Phobos is 9378 kilometers away from Mars and has a mass of 1.06 × 1016 kg. What is the gravitational force between Mars and Phobos? 5.16 × 1015 N 5.16 × 1021 N 4.84 × 1022 N 4.84 × 1025 N

Answer :

Answer:

A on Edge 5.16 x 10^15 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between Mars and Phobos is 5.16*10^15 N.

Using the formula

F = G m1 m2/ r^2

  = 6.67*10^-11*6.42*10^23*1.06*10^16/(9378)^2

  = 45.39*10^28/87946884

  = 5.16 * 10^15 N

What is gravitational force ?

"The force of attraction on a body by earth is called gravitational force." Example : The leaves and fruits fall from a tree downwards towards the ground, water in a river flows down streams, a ball thrown up goes to a height and then returns back on ground are some examples of motion due to gravitational force.

What is phobos ?

"Phobos is the larger of Mars' two moons and is 17 x 14 x 11 miles (27 by 22 by 18 kilometers) in diameter. It orbits Mars three times a day, and is so close to the planet's surface that in some locations on Mars it cannot always be seen."
