Question
Write the formula to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and an object on the surface of the earth.
Answer
The formula to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and an object on the surface of the earth is:
F = (G × M × m) / R²
Where:
F is the magnitude of the gravitational force
G is the universal gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Earth
m is the mass of the object
R is the radius of the Earth
