Two particles of masses 1kg and 2kg are ...

Two particles of masses `1kg` and `2kg` are placed at a distance of `50cm`. Find the initial acceleration of the first particle due to gravitational force.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Gravitational force between two particles is
`F=(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))=(6.67xx10^(-11)xx1xx2)/((0.5)^(2))=5.3xx10^(-10)N`
The acceleration of 1 kg particle is
`a_(1)=F/(m_(1))=(5.3xx10^(-10))/1=5.3xx10^(-10)ms^(-2)` towards the 2 kg mass
