Sketch the earth and mars and in your sketch, show the center of the planets being separated by a distance d = 3 x 10^11 m. Use Newton's Universal Gravitation equation to determine the gravitational force of attraction between earth and mars at that distance given G= 6.67 x 10^-11 Nxm^2/kg^2, mass of earth = 6 x 10^24 kg, mass of mars = 6.39 x 10^23 kg
