Question

A solar system has the five planets shown below. The mass of each planet is proportional to its size. Planet X is at equal distance from Planet A, Planet B, Planet C, and Planet D. Five circles labeled Planet A, Planet B, Planet C, Planet D, and Planet X are shown. Planets X is at the center with all other planets around it. Planet X is at the same distance from Planet A, Planet B, Planet C, and Planet D. Planet D is the smallest and Planet C is the biggest. Planet X and Planet B have the same size and they are bigger than Planet D but smaller than Planet A and Planet C. Planet A is slightly bigger than Planet X but smaller than Planet C Which planet exerts the greatest gravitational force on Planet X? Group of answer choices Planet A Planet B Planet C Planet D

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "planet C"

Explanation:

The answer would have to be C because of the mass of the planet, some people would say that is not exactly true in a lot of cases but in your problem the planet with the most gravitational exert would have to be planet C .One last thing you should know...'the Universal "LAW" of gravitation'. Laws/Principles can only be verified and cannot be proved. Laws are conclusions based on experiments.
