Answer:
F = 1.36*10^-9
Explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]F=6.67\ast10^{-11}\ast\frac{(1.5\ast10^5)(8.5\ast10^2)}{2500^2}[/tex]To calculate the value of F, you need to multiply 1.5*10^5 by 8.5*10^2 as follows:
[tex]F=6.67\ast10^{-11}\ast\frac{1.275\times10^8}{2500^2}[/tex]Then, 2500² = 2500 x 2500 = 6.25 * 10^6, so replacing the value, we get:
[tex]F=6.67\ast10^{-11}\ast\frac{1.275\ast10^8}{6.25\ast10^6}[/tex]Now, we need to divide 1.275*10^7 by 6.25*10^6, so
[tex]F=6.67\ast10^{-11}\ast(20.4)[/tex]Finally, multiply 6.67*10^-11 by 20.4, so
[tex]F=1.36\ast10^{-9}[/tex]
