Question

The planets Hox and Blox are near each other in the Dorgon system. The Dorgons have very advanced technology,

and a Dorgon scientist wants to increase the pull of gravity between the two planets.
Which proposals would the scientist make to accomplish this goal? Check all that apply.
decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox
increasing the mass of Hox
increasing the distance between Hox and Blox
decreasing the mass of Blox
increasing the mass of Hox and Blox
decreasing the mass of Hox and Blox

Answer 1

A B E

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The following proposals would make the scientist to accomplish this goal:

• decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox
• increasing the mass of Hox

• increasing the mass of Hox and Blox

Answer: Options A, B, and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational pull on an object by another, is nothing but the force that it exerts due to its gravity. Earth has gravity, so it pulls down everything that tends to move up. Similarly, Hox and Blox have gravitational pulls on each other, due to their gravitational forces.

`F = G *\left((m_(1) * m_(2))/(r^(2))\right)`

Where,

F = force exerted on object

G – Gravitational constant

`m_(1) \text { and } m_(2)` – Mass of two objects

r – Distance between two objects

This gravitational pull varies in phase with the mass of two bodies in relation, and inversely proportionate to the distance square. Hence, the scientist could do less the distance between the bodies, or else, spend to increase the size of one of them or both the bodies.
