Below is an image of two objects represented by m1 and m2. The distance between the objects is r. Using the Law of Universal Gravitation what would happen to the force of gravity if the distance (r) between both objects increased
O The force of gravity would increase.
O The force of gravity would decrease.
O The force of gravity would stay the same.
Using the same image in question #24 what are two ways to increase the force of gravity?
O Decrease the mass of m1 or increase the distance between the objects (r).
O Decrease the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r).
O Increase the mass of m1 or increase the distance between the objects (r).
O Increase the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r).
The force of gravity would decrease.
To increase the force of gravity, you would need to increase the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r).
For the first question, according to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the force of gravity would decrease if the distance between the objects (r) increased. Therefore, the correct answer is:
O The force of gravity would decrease.
For the second question, to increase the force of gravity between the objects, you can either increase the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r). Therefore, the correct answer is:
O Increase the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r).
For the first question, we need to apply the Law of Universal Gravitation to determine what would happen to the force of gravity if the distance between the objects increased.
The Law of Universal Gravitation states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses (m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them.
Using this information, if the distance (r) increases, the force of gravity would decrease. Therefore, the correct answer is:
O The force of gravity would decrease.
Now, for the second question, we need to consider how to increase the force of gravity between the objects represented by m1 and m2 in the given image.
According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, there are two ways to increase the force of gravity:
1. Increase the mass of object m1: The force of gravity is directly proportional to the masses of both objects. By increasing the mass of m1, the force of gravity between m1 and m2 will also increase.
2. Decrease the distance between the objects (r): The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. By decreasing the distance between m1 and m2, the force of gravity between them will increase.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
O Increase the mass of m1 or decrease the distance between the objects (r).
