Question

Which change will cause the gravitational force between a baseball and a soccer ball to increase? Select three options.

Answer 1

moving the balls closer together

pumping more air into the soccer ball

putting the baseball in a plastic case

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the baseball and the soccer ball will increase if the moving balls are closer together, pumping more air into the soccer ball and putting the baseball in a plastic case.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation "the force between two masses is proportional to the magnitude of their mass and inversely proportional the square of the distances between them". It is mathematically expressed as:

   Fgravity = G$\frac{M_{1} M_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where G is a constant called the universal gravitation constant.

           M1 is the mass of particle 1

            M2 is the mass of particle 2

             r is the distance between them.

The force of gravity increases as their masses increase and also as the distance between the bodies reduce.

From the options:

Moving the balls closer together                       distance reducing

Pumping more air into the soccer ball               mass increasing

Putting the baseball in a plastic case                mass increasing
