Question #154994

  1. A black hole with a mass of 1.1 x 10^31 kg pulls a planet towards itself with a force of gravity of 2.8 x 10^21  If the distance between their centres of mass is 3.5 x 10^11 what is the mass of the planet?

Expert's answer

F=GMmr22.8⋅1021=(6.67⋅10−11)(1.1⋅1031)m(3.5⋅1011)2m=4.7⋅1023kgF=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}\\2.8 \cdot 10^{21}=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.1\cdot 10^{31})m}{(3.5\cdot 10^{11})^2}\\m=4.7\cdot 10^{23}kg
