Universal Law of Gravitation Answers
The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?
A probe orbiting Venus exerts a gravitational force of 2.58 × 103 N on Venus. Venus has a mass of 4.87 × 1024 kg. The mass of the probe is 655 kilograms. The gravitational constant is 6.67 × 10-11 N*m2/kg2.To three significant digits, the probe is × 106 m from the center of Venus.
The gravitational force between two objects is 3600 N. What will be the gravitational force between the objects if the mass of each object is reduced to one-third of its original mass?
Review the table detailing the mass of Jupiter’s moons and their distance from the planet.
The gravitational force between Pluto and Charon is 3.61 × 1018 N. Pluto has a mass of 1.3 × 1022 kg, which is only slightly greater than Charon’s mass of 1.6 × 1021 kg.
The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 23.1 m/s2, which is about twice the acceleration due to gravity on Neptune.
The gravitational force between a satellite and Earth’s moon is 324 N. The mass of the moon is 7.3 × 1022 kg.
Which changes would result in a decrease in the gravitational force between two objects? Check all that apply.increasing the distance between the objectsdecreasing the distance between the objectsincreasing the mass of one of the objectsincreasing the mass of both objectsdecreasing the mass of one of the objectsdecreasing the mass of both objects
