The gravitational force between pluto and charon is 3.61 × 1018 n. pluto has a mass of 1.3 × 1022 kg, which is only slightly greater than charon’s mass of 1.6 × 1021 kg. how far apart are pluto and charon? 2.0 × 107 m 2.4 × 1012 m 3.8 × 1014 m 5.8 × 1024 m

Answer : The distance between the Pluto and Charon is,

Solution :

Formula used :

where,

F = gravitational force =

M = mass of Pluto =

m = mass of Charon =

G = gravitational constant =

r = distance between the Pluto and Charon = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

Therefore, the distance between the Pluto and Charon is,

b
