Question.
What happens to the force between two objects, if
(i) the mass of one object is doubled ?
(ii) the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled ?
(iii) the masses of both objects are doubled ?
What happens to the force between two objects, if
(i) the mass of one object is doubled ?
(ii) the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled ?
(iii) the masses of both objects are doubled ?
Solution:
(i) The force of gravitation doubles.
(ii) The force of gravitation decreases 4 times if the distance between the objects is
doubled, and if the distance between the objects is tripled then the force of
gravitation decreases 9 times.
(iii) The force of gravitation increases 4 times.
(i) The force of gravitation doubles.
(ii) The force of gravitation decreases 4 times if the distance between the objects is
doubled, and if the distance between the objects is tripled then the force of
gravitation decreases 9 times.
(iii) The force of gravitation increases 4 times.
