<em>The less mass an object has, the </em><u>less</u><em> its gravitational [force.]</em>
Explanation:
Newton's Law of Gravity states that . The two <em>m</em> values are the objects' masses, G is the gravitational constant, and <em>r</em> is the distance between the objects' centers. Notice how the mass values are in the fraction's <em>numerator</em>? That means <em>increasing</em> the mass of one or both objects <em>increases</em> . That also implies the inverse; <em>decreasing</em> the mass of one or both objects <em>decreases</em> !
I hope this helps you understand this concept a little more! Have yourself a fantastic day, 'kay?
The engine that falls off would have the same constant horizontal velocity as the airplane's when if falls off if we ignore air resistance. So it would have a horizontal velocity of 280m/s for 30seconds before it hits the ground.
Therefor the horizontal distance the engine travels during its fall is
