1. ## more algebra

1)The gravitational force between two objects, F(N), is given by the formula
F = 6.67 × 10^−11m1m2/ r^ 2
where m1 and m2 are the mass (in kilograms) of each object and r (in metres) is the distance
between them.

A)The gravitational force between a planet and an object 6.4 × 106 m away from the
centre of the planet is found to be 2.4 × 104 N. If the object has a mass of 1500 kg,

2. The last sentence appears not to be complete...?

3. 1)The gravitational force between two objects, F(N), is given by the formula
F = 6.67 × 10^−11m1m2/ r^ 2
where m1 and m2 are the mass (in kilograms) of each object and r (in metres) is the distance
between them.

A)The gravitational force between a planet and an object 6.4 × 106 m away from the
centre of the planet is found to be 2.4 × 104 N. If the object has a mass of 1500 kg, calculate the approximate mass of the planet, giving the answer in standard form (two
significant figures).

Solve for $M$:

$2.4 \times 10^4 = \frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 1500 \times M}{(6.4 \times 10^6)^2}$.
