Question 23 The first diagram shows the force of gravity (F) between two objects separated by some distance (d). What is the force of gravity in the second diagram? A. 1/2 F B. F C. 2F D. 4F

SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

Answer: The force of gravity between two objects is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m1 * m2) / d^2. In the second diagram, the distance is halved (d/2), so the force becomes F' = G * (m1 * m2) / (d/2)^2 = 4 * G * (m1 * m2) / d^2 = 4F. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 4F.
