Aheavier mass m1 and a lighter mass m2 are 20.5 cm apart and experience a gravitational force of attraction that is 8.50 10-9 n in magnitude. the two masses have a combined value of 5.80 kg. determine the value of each individual mass. m1 = kg

m2 = kg

m₁ = 4.65 Kg

m₂ = 1.15 Kg

Explanation:

given,

heavier mass be equal to m₁

lighter mass be equal to m₂

distance between the two objects = 20.5 cm = 0.205 m

force of attraction = 8.50 x 10⁻⁹ N

combine value of mass = 5.80

m₁ + m₂ = 5.80 Kg

using formula

on solving the above equation

m₁ = 4.65 Kg

now,

m₂ = 5.80 - 4.65

m₂ = 1.15 Kg

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
