Question:
Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between:
a. Two objects separated by a distance of 1.0 cm and each having a mass of 100 g.
b. Two asteroids separated by a distance of 4.0 109 m and each having a mass of 5.0 × 1010 kg.
c. A satellite of mass 1.4 × 104 kg orbiting the Earth at a distance of 6800 km from the Earth’s centre. (The mass of the Earth is 6.0 × 1024 kg.)

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
