If the radius of the planet is 5.82 x 10° m, calculate the small object's acceleration during the fall and the mass of the big planet.arrow_forwardImagine that two identical containers, one filled with marbles and the other filled with Styrofoam beads, are released simultaneously from rest from the same height-s Earth's surface. (a) Which container, if either, experiences the greater gravitational force? O the container filled with marbles O the container filled with beads O Both containers will experience the same gravitational force. Justify your answer. O Since both containers fall to the ground with the same acceleration, both will experience the same gravitational force. O Gravitational force is directly proportional to mass, so the heavier container would experience the greater gravitational force. O Gravitational force is inversely proportional to mass, so the lighter container would experience the greater gravitational force. O Since the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s² for each container, both will experience the same gravitational force. (b) which container, if either, experiences the greater acceleration from…arrow_forward
