Two objects of masses 80kg and 50kg are separated by a distance of 0.2m. If the gravitational constant is 6.6 x 10-11Nm kg, calculate the gravitational attraction between them.

A.

4.9 x 10-9N

B.

1.3 x 10-6N

C.

6.6 x 10-8N

D.

6.6 x 10-6N

E.

2.6 x 10-9N

Correct answer is D

F = \(\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-11} \times 80 \times 50}{0.2 \times 0.2}\)

= 6.6 x 10-6N
