- One object has a mass of 3 kg, another has a mass of 6 kg, and they are 6 m apart. What is the force of gravity between these two objects?arrow_forwardTwo objects attract each other gravitationally with a force of 2.2\times 10-10 N when they are 0.55 m apart. Their total mass is 4.8 kg .Find their individual masses.arrow_forwardTwo objects, with masses m1 and m2, attract each other with force F. If the mass of m1 increased by a factor of two then the new gravitational force would be: F/4 2 F 4 F F/2arrow_forward
- Which is stronger: The force on the Earth due to the Sun, or the force on the Sun due to the Earth? why?arrow_forwardIf the Earth were 5 times as far from the Sun as it is now, how many times would the gravitational force exerted on it by the Sun be smaller?arrow_forwardA satellite is 200 miles above the earth. It has a mass of 150 kg. If the mass of the satellite or tripled, how much was the force of gravity of the satellite on the earth increase?arrow_forward
- How close would the masses 0.475 kg and 0.109 kg have to be in order for the gravitational force between them to have a magnitude of 1.05 N? also is it realisticarrow_forwardAssume that you have two objects, one with a mass of 10 kg and the other with a mass of 18 kg, each with a charge of –0.017 C and separated by a distance of 2 m. What is the electric force that these objects exert on one another? Answer in uits of N.arrow_forwardNewton’s law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravity between two bodiesis proportional to the product of the two masses (m1 and m2) and inversely proportionalto the square of their separation (r). For each scenario described below, explain how theforce of gravity would change. Say something like “the force of gravity would double”.(a) The separation between the two bodies is increased by a factor of 10.(b) The separation between the two bodies is decreased by a factor of 10.(c) Both masses are tripled, and the separation is increased by a factor of 3.(d) The separation is increased by a factor of 5.65 and one of the masses isincreased by a factor of 2.55.arrow_forward
