The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.
Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.
This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.
Answer:
Option D
490 J
Explanation:
When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then
PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J
At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J
Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence
981-490.5= 490.5 J
Approximately, 490 J
Answer:
Earth's average surface gravity is about 9.8 meters per second per second. ... The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass but inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
