Question

how can you make the gravitational force between two 50kg objects less than the gravitational force between two 5kg objects

Answer 1

By increasing the distance between the two 50 kg objects compared with the distance between the 5 kg objects.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the force between 2 objects is

Fg = (G m1 m2) / r^2

where Fg is the force, G = gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects and r = the distance between the objects.

So as r is increased Fg is decreased.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force between two 50kg objects could be less than the gravitational force between a 50kg and a 5kg object if the two 50kg objects are much farther apart.
