Answer:
It increases proportionally
Explanation:
The gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the object
R is the Earth's radius
In this problem, the Earth's mass is increased, while the diameter (and therefore, the radius) doesn't change. From the equation, we see that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the Earth's mass: therefore, if the mass is increased, the force will increase as well by the same proportion (for example, if the mass is doubled, the force will double as well)
Answer:
The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.
For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:
U = m*g*H
where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.
Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:
K = (1/2)*m*v^2
where v is the velocity.
Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.
Uinitial = Kfinal.
m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2
v^2 = 2*g*H
v = √(2*g*H)
So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.
B explanation : they are both filled to the same pint
