Answer:
Explanation:
(a) The force of gravity is called an attractive force because it is the force (although weak) in which a planetary body or matter uses to attract an object towards itself.
(b) Yes, it does and the formula for force of gravity between any two object is
F = G
where m1 and m2 are masses of the first and second object respectively
r is the distance between the center of the two masses
G is the gravitational constant
To solve the problem it is necessary to apply energy conservation.
By definition we know that kinetic energy is equal to potential energy, therefore
PE = KE
Where,
m = mass
g = gravitaty constat
v = velocity
h = height
Re-arrange to find h,
Replacing with our values
Therefore the correct answer is C.
