Question
Part 2:
Use Newton's Law of Gravitation to calculate the force between you (who probably has an average mass of around 70 kg) and the Andromeda
Galaxy (2.0 x1042 kg). You will have to convert the distance in light-years to meters in order to achieve the proper numerical value of force.
Use Newton's Law of Gravitation to calculate the force between you (again with a mass of 70 kg) and the glass of water (with a mass of 0.24 kg) at
an arms length (around 1 meter).
Reply to your original post showing your work on the two calculations and your final answer on which one has a greater gravitational force on you.
After making your calculations, do you believe that the stars have a major influence on your daily life?
