If the distance between two objects is reduced by a factor of 5, how will Fg be affected?

A. F g decreases to 1/25
B. F g increases by 5 times
C. F g decreases to 1/5
D. F g increases by 25 times


Sagot :

Answer:

Gravitational force is given by:

F=G×

d

2

m×M

Distance between two masses is increased s.t. new distance is D= 5 d

New gravitational force F

1

=F

Let on of the mass is changed to m

1

so as to maintain the same gravitational force.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

F g increases by 25 times
