Question

Assume that all of the objects in the diagram are solid and made of the same material.

In Set B, explain the difference in the magnitudes of the gravitational forces between the two pairs of objects.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. pair 2

B. pair 1

C. pair 2

Magnitude can depend on the size of each object AND the distance they are from each other.

In set A, Pair 2 has a greater magnitude because both objects are larger.

In set B, Pair 1 has a greater magnitude because it is much closer.

In set C, Pair 2 has a greater magnitude because it is closer.

Answer 2

A. pair 2

B. pair 1

C. pair 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnitude can depend on the size of each object AND the distance they are from each other.

In set A, Pair 2 has a greater magnitude because both objects are larger.

In set B, Pair 1 has a greater magnitude because it is much closer.

In set C, Pair 2 has a greater magnitude because it is closer.
