Its because the attraction force that pulls objects together increases the heavier the objects are. Since Mercury is much smaller and consequently lighter than earth, it's attraction to an object on the planets surface would be less than if that same object were found on earth. So it's "gravity acceleration" would be less than earth's 9.8m/s^2

Calculate the net force on particle q1. First, find the direction of the force particle q2 is exerting on particle q1. Is it pus
ValentinkaMS [17]

The net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

<h3>Force on q1 due to q2</h3>

F(12) = kq₁q₂/r₂

F(12) = (9 x 10⁹ x 13 x 10⁻⁶ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.25²)

F(12) = -14.41 N  (towards left)

<h3>Force on q1 due to q3</h3>

F(13) = (9 x 10⁹ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.9 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.55²)

F(13) = 1.352 N (towards right)

<h3>Net force on q1</h3>

F(net) = 1.352 N - 14.41 N

F(net) = -13.06 N

Thus, the net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.
