Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.
Answer:
The the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.
Explanation:
In the given problem, the jumper is falling under the free fall. Since, no external force is acting on the body therefore, the fall will be under the action gravity only. also, the acceleration due to gravity is always constant.
Therefore, the the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.
One of the equations for force is: Force = mass × acceleration.
The force and mass are given and so:
F=15N
m=10kg
By plugging in these values we obtain:


So the acceleration is a=1.5m/s^2
Angular frequency of pendulum is given by

for both pendulum we have


For other pendulum


now we have relate angular frequency given as
[tex\omega_1 - \omega_2 = 3.13 - 2.98 = 0.15 rad/s[/tex]
now time taken to become in phase again is given as


now number of oscillations complete in above time
