The gravitational force between two objects is 2400 N. What will be the gravitational force between the objects if the mass of one object is doubled?
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the attraction force
between two bodies is given by:
where mi and m2 are the masses of the bodies, r is the distance between the
bodies, and G=6.67 × 10-" N-m²/kg² is the universal gravitational constant.
Determine how many times the attraction force between the sun and the
Earth is larger than the attraction force between the Earth and the moon.
The distance between the sun and Earth is 149.6 x 10°m, the distance
28
between the moon and Earth is 384.4 × 10°m, mEarth = 5.98 x 10“ kg,
= 2.0 x 10" kg, and mn =7.36 x 102 kg.
The mass of a moon is MM and the mass of the planet it orbits is Mp. The distance
between the center of the moon and the center of the planet is R. What would happen
to the gravitational force between the moon and the planet if the moon's mass was
doubled and the distance between their centers was halved?
