Question

MARKING BRAINLIST | Which situation below would have the STRONGEST gravitational force between them?

Answer 1

Case d) has the strongest gravitational force

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

a) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 2 kg

r = 30 km = 30,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(2)}{30000^2}=1.48\cdot 10^{-18}N$

b) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 10 kg

r = 30 km = 30,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(10)}{30000^2}=7.41\cdot 10^{-18}N$

c) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 2 kg

r = 10 km = 10,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(2)(2)}{10000^2}=1.33\cdot 10^{-17}N$

d) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 10 kg

r = 10 km = 10,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(10)}{10000^2}=6.67\cdot 10^{-17}N$

Therefore, the  strongest gravitational force is in case d).
