1 answer:
Answer:
When the mass increases or when distance between the bodies reduces
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational attraction between two bodies always increase if the mass increases and the distance between the bodies reduces.
The law of universal gravitation states that "the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".
Mathematically;
Fg =
G is the universal gravitation constant
m is the mass
r is the distance

Given that,
Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg
Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s
Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg
Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)
To find,
Mutual speed immediately after the collision.
Solution,
The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :
So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.
