Question
The gravitational force of attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Suppose that when a comet is 600 x 103 kms from the earth and receding at 12000 km/sec, the force between the comet and the earth is 3 kN. How fast is the force changing in kN/sec at that instant?
a) -0.24
b) -0.18
c) -0.16
d) -0.12
