Case d) has the strongest gravitational force
Explanation:
The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:
where
:
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3D%286.67%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-11%7D%29%5Cfrac%7B%2810%29%282%29%7D%7B30000%5E2%7D%3D1.48%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-18%7DN)
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3D%286.67%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-11%7D%29%5Cfrac%7B%2810%29%2810%29%7D%7B30000%5E2%7D%3D7.41%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-18%7DN)
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3D%286.67%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-11%7D%29%5Cfrac%7B%282%29%282%29%7D%7B10000%5E2%7D%3D1.33%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-17%7DN)
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3D%286.67%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-11%7D%29%5Cfrac%7B%2810%29%2810%29%7D%7B10000%5E2%7D%3D6.67%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-17%7DN)
Therefore, the strongest gravitational force is in case d).
