Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop toos your

00:05

brought to you by magic physics and magic are actually

00:08

kind of similar except in physics There's A lot less

00:11

sawing people in half Yeah all right For susie six

00:14

birthday her parents decided to hire a physics magician for

00:17

entertainment The opening act of einstein owe the great is

00:21

to create gravity He pulls out two rocks each weighing

00:24

four kilograms and twelve kilograms respectively and places them four

00:28

meters apart huh Expressed in terms of g what is

00:33

the magnitude of gravitational force between the two rocks and

00:38

hear the potential answers Three things i will to answer

00:43

this question we need to remember isaac newton's law of

00:45

universal gravitation Sir isaac taught the world that the force

00:49

of gravity is equal to the gravitational constant times the

00:53

product of the masses of the two objects divided by

00:57

the square of the distance between the objects Right So

01:01

the equation looks a little something like this right here

01:04

So now all we're left to do is plug in

01:06

the numbers Well the masses of the two objects are

01:08

four kilograms and twelve kilograms And when we multiply those

01:12

together we get yes Forty eight kilograms The distance between

01:18

the objects is four meters So when we square that

01:21

we get sixteen meters Last thing to do is divide

01:24

forty eight by sixteen which comes out to three making

01:26

a three g The correct answer Remember physics might seem

01:30

like magic sometimes but we can learn to make sense

01:32

of it We don't even have to smoke and door 00:01:35.279 --> [endTime] mirrors Teo
