What happens to the force between two objects, if
a)the mass of one object is doubled?
b)the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
c)the masses of both objects are doubled?
Answers
Answer:
what type of forces your are talking about, gravitational or any other please mention...
a)
→If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. ... Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
b)
→From the relationship, (i) If the mass of one object (say body 1) is doubled, then Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects gets doubled. ... If the distance between the two objects is tripled, then Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-ninth
c)
→If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
