Question

Which change will cause the gravitational force between a baseball and a soccer ball to increase? Select three options. Moving the balls closer together moving the balls farther apart wrapping the soccer ball in layers of duct tape using a baseball with a thinner leather removing the outer layer of the baseball putting the baseball in a plastic case.

Answer 1

The three options are 1,3 and 5 Moving the balls closer together. The distance decreases and forces increase.

What is the gravitational force?

The gravitational force ia s type of force has the ability attracts any two objects with mass. Gravitational force tries to pull two masses towards each other.

The value of the gravitational force is given by;

$F_g=\frac{ Gm_ 1m_2}{r^2}$

It is observed that the gravitational force is directly propotional to the product of mass and inversly propotional to the square of the distance between them.

So, the correct options are :

(1) Moving the balls closer together. The distance decreases and forces increase.

(3) Wrapping the soccer ball in layers of duct tape will also increase force because the mass will increase.

(5) Similarly, putting the baseball in a plastic case will increase mass, and hence force increases.

Hence the three options are 1,3 and 5.
