Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?
1 answer:
Answer:
A. Two tennis balls that are near each other
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is
where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.
Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.
If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.
The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.
The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.
Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.

First we gotta use an equation of motion:
Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!
Now we just need to solve for t:
Hit the calculators, and you'll get 4.5 seconds!
