Question

Gravitational pull between 2 objects is determined by which of the following?

Question 11 options:

Both distance between and mass of the 2 objects


Volume of the 2 objects


Mass of the 2 objects


Acceleration of the 2 objects


Distance between the 2 objects

Answer 1

Both distance between and mass of the 2 objects.

Answer 2

Both distance between and mass of the 2 objects

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational pull between two objects is given by:

`F=G(m_1 m_2)/(r^2)`

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 is the mass of the first object

m2 is the mass of the second object

r is the distance between the two objects

From the formula, we see that the gravitational pull depends both on the distance between the two objects (r) and on their masses (m1, m2), so the correct answer is

Both distance between and mass of the 2 objects
