If you want to increase the gravitational force between two objects; would you rather double the mass of one object or halve the
1 answer:
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity from Newtonian theory for which it is necessary to
Where,
G = Gravitational universal constant
M = Mass of Earth
m = mass of Object
x = Distance between center of mass of the objects.
From this equation we can observe that the Force is inversely proportional to the squared distance between the two objects. The greater the distance, the lower the force of gravity and vice versa.
If you want to increase the force of gravity, you need to reduce the distance of the two. Therefore the correct option is B. Talk to the distance between them.

The orbital period of the satellite[T] is given as .
The radius of the satellite is given [R] .
we are asked here to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite.
Before going to get the solution first we have understand the tangential speed.
The tangential speed of a satellite is given as the speed required to keep the satellite along the orbit. If satellite speed is less than tangential speed,there is the chance of it falling down towards earth. If it is more,then it will deviate from it orbit and can't stick to the orbit further.In a simple way the tangential speed is the linear speed of an object in a circular path.
Now we have to calculate the tangential speed [V].
Mathematically the tangential speed [V] written as -
V
where T is the time period of the satellite and R is the radius of the satellite.
There is also another way through which we can get the solution as explained below-
We know that the tangential speed of a satellite V
where G is the gravitational constant and M is the mas of central object.
But we know that
⇒ where g is the acceleration due to gravity of that central object.
Hence
⇒
By knowing the value of g due to that central object we can also calculate its tangential speed.
