Question

The planets Hox and Blox are near each other in the Dorgon system. The Dorgons have very advanced technology, and a Dorgon scientist wants to increase the pull of gravity between the two planets.
Which proposals would the scientist make to accomplish this goal? Check all that apply.

decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox
increasing the mass of Hox
increasing the distance between Hox and Blox
decreasing the mass of Blox
increasing the mass of Hox and Blox
decreasing the mass of Hox and Blox

Answer 1

Answer:

1. decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox
2. decreasing the mass of Hox and Blox
3. decreasing the mass of Blox

Explanation:

Decreasing the distance between Hox and Blox will make it easier to increase the pull of gravity between the two planets, because less gravity would be needed to increase the pull of gravity. Hope that made sense. Decreasing the mass of Hox and Blox will decrease the amount of gravity needed to make the pull of gravity stronger. Because decreasing the mass of hox and blox is one of the correct answers ( of course i can't be 100% sure because the grader may be looking for different answers than normal), I am assuming that decreasing the mass of Blox is an answer too. Hope this made sense and helped.
