Two small lead spheres of masses 0.20kg and 0.50kg are placed 0.50m apart on a perfectly smooth horizontal table. Take G=6.67×10−11N m2/kg2.
(i) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force acting between the two spheres.
(ii) If the spheres are released from rest, determine the initial acceleration of each sphere. State clearly the direction of motion of each sphere.
