3. Suppose Earth orbited a star whose mass was double the mass of the sun. If the radius of Earth's orbit remained
the same as it is now, then compared with gravitational force between Earth and the sun, the gravitational force
between Earth and the star would be -
A. half as much
B. the same
C. two times as much
D. four times as much

Sagot :

Answer:

F1 = G M m / R^2       current force on earth

F2 = G M * 2 m / R^2     force if mass were doubled

F2 / F1 = 2         the force would be twice as large
