Question 12 of 20
In which scenario will the two objects have the least gravitational force
between them?
O A. Mass of object 1 = 15 kg
Mass of object 2 = 12 kg
Distance between objects = 1.5 m
O B. Mass of object 1 = 15 kg
Mass of object 2 = 12 kg
Distance between objects = 0.5 m
C. Mass of object 1 = 12 kg
Mass of object 2 = 12 kg
Distance between objects = 1.5 m
D. Mass of object 1 = 12 kg
Mass of object 2 = 12 kg
Distance between objects = 0.5 m

Answer :

Answer:

C. Mass of object 1 = 12 kg

Mass of object 2 = 12 kg

Distance between objects = 1.5 m

Explanation:

From the universal gravitation equation

Force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of mass 1 and mass 2 and inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart

Option B is has the greatest factor

Force of gravity between the objects = (15 x 12)/(0.5)^2

Force of gravity between the objects = 720G

Option C has the least factor and the answer

Force of gravity between the objects = (12 x 12)/(1.5)^2

Force of gravity between the objects = 64G

G = The constant of proportionality = 6.673 x 10-11 N m^2/kg^2
