Question

Not yet answered Marked out of 12.80 Question 6 The magnitude of the gravitational force that a point mass exerts on another point mass when they are separated by a distance of d meters if F Newton. Now suppose that the second mass is moved so that the distance between them is now 0.68d meters. What is the magnitude of the new force that this second mass will experience at this new location? Give your answer in terms of F For example, if the force is 7.85 times F then your answer would be (7.85)F. If the force is 0.55 times F then your answer would be (0.55)F. Give your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. Answer

Explanation / Answer

F = G m1 m2 / d^2

now d' = 0.68 d

F' = G m1 m2 / d'^2

F' = ( G m1 m 2 / d^2)(1/0.68^2)

F' = 2.16 F ......Ans
