Question

By what percent will the gravitational force between the two bodies be increased if their masses are increased by 50%?

Hint: Use Newton's universal law of gravitation.

Answer 1

Answer:

125%

Explanation:f=Gm1m2/r^2

Mass increased by 50% then

M1= m1 + 50/100m1

M2=m2+ 50/100m2

Putting value in relation you will get F and F' .

Divide both you get relation

F' = 9/4F

Then % change= (F'-F)/F×100

So (9F/4-F)/F×100

You will get 125%as your answer.

Hope it helps.

Mark it as brainy.
