Question

he gravitational force between two objects is 100 N. If the mass of each object is doubled, what is the gravitational force between the objects at the same distance?

Answer 1

grav force proportional to m1xm2

m1xm2 => 2m1x2m2 => 4m1m2.

100N=>400N

Answer 2

Answer: The gravitational force when the masses are doubled is 400 N

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the gravitational forces, we use the equation:

`F=(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)`

Where,

F = gravitational force

G = Universal gravitational constant

`m_1` = mass of object 1

`m_2` = mass of object 2

r = distance between the objects

When F = 100 N, the equation becomes:

`F_1=(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)=100N`

When the masses of bot the objects are doubles, the equation becomes:

`F_2=(G(2m_1)(2m_2))/(r^2)=4(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)=4* (100)=400N`

Hence, the gravitational force when the masses are doubled is 400 N
