Suppose the gravitational force between two massive spheres is 100 N. If the mass of the smaller sphere is doubled, what is the force between the masses?

Respuesta :

Answer:

LOL i belive its 200 because i did this exact same thing yesterday for homework and got it right

Explanation:

my brain, and my memory allowed me to remeber this from my homework.

The Forces between the masses will be doubled and it will be 200N.

Using the Newton law of gravitation force,

The force of attraction between 2 objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart. Therefore,

F = G m₁ m₂ / r²

The Force of attraction was 100N . After doubling the mass of the smaller sphere the force between them will be as follows:

F = G m₁ 2m₂ / r²

100 N  =   G m₁ m₂ / r²

200N =  2 G m₁ m₂ / r²

Therefore, the Force between the masses will be doubled . The new force of attraction will be 200N.  Since Force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of their masses the force should increase as the product of there masses increase.
