Answer:
a) The strength of gravity decreases if one moved away from Jupiter
b) The strength of gravity increases if one fell into Jupiter
Explanation:
The gravitational attraction is given by Newton law of gravitation as follows;
Where;
G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)
M = The mass of Jupiter
m = The mass of the nearby body
R = The distance between the centers of Jupiter and the body
From the equation, we have that the gravitational strength varies inversely with the square of the separation distance between two bodies
Therefore, as one moves away, R increases, and the strength of gravity reduces
Similarly as the body falls into Jupiter, R, reduces the gravitational strength increases.
The correct answer is:
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.
In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
