the force of gravitation between two objects is 500 newtons. a) what would the force of gravitation be if the distance between these two objects increased by times?
b)suppose the distance stayed the same as it was origmally but the mass of one of the bodies doubled. what would the new force of gravitational attraction be?

$$F= \frac{gM_1M_2}{r^2}$$

anonymous · Answer

assume that in your case
if r=1, then F=500

so if r = x, F=?

anonymous · Answer

500

anonymous · Answer

no idea, you left out the multiplier

anonymous · Answer

basically assume the gM1M2 = 500

so just plug in the necessary multiplier of r

anonymous · Answer

5n would be the answer?

anonymous · Answer

I DONT KNOW
YOU LEFT OUT A NUMBER
reread your problem please

anonymous · Answer

500/(10)2=500/100=5n
