The gravitational force between two objects is 2N. What will be the gravitational force between these objects if:
1. The mass of one object is tripled?
2. The distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
3. The masses of both objects are doubled?
Answers
Answer:
the force of gravity between them is tripled
one-ninth
the force between them is doubled.
Explanation:
If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. If the mass of one of the objects is tripled, then the force of gravity between them is tripled. If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on.
(ii) If the distance between the two objects is doubled, then Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-fourth. If the distance between the two objects is tripled, then Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-ninth.
Newton's law:- Force of attraction between any two material particles is directly proportional to the product of masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. ... When the mass of an object is doubled then the force between them is doubled.
