The answer to your question is B
D. it is decreased by a factor of 9.
Force = kqq ÷ r^2
The distance is squared so if it is increased or decreased by any factor, then it must be squared too. Because the distance is on the bottom of the equation, you divide the force by the increasing or decreasing factor.
Answer:
- The gravitational force by the Earth on the object, and by the object on the Earth is
- = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2 × 6 × 10^24 kg × 44.5 kg/(6.4 × 10^6 m)²
<u>Please note that the ration between the gravitation force 435 and the mass 44.5</u>
- should be gravitational acceleration
- I attribute the discrepancy between 9.78 and the usual 9.81 to rounding off in the
- Earth's weight and radius.
The mass of the Moon is M / 81.3.
The radius of the Moon is R × 0.27.
The gravitational force on the moon would be
G(M/81.3)m/(R×0.27)² = 0.17×GMm/R²
The gravitational force on the moon is smaller by the factor of about 0.17.
The real place should theoretically have space for 87 passengers if it is an exact model and doesn't have modifications in the seat numbers.
