Question

Which of the following objects would have the greatest gravitational attraction between them if they were set 1.0 km apart?

a: a 100 kg object and a 1000 kg object

b: a 0.10 kg object and a 100 kg object

c: a 100,000 kg object and a 100,000,000 kg object

d: two objects each weighing 1 g

Answer 1

What's the formula for the law of universal gravitation?

Answer 2

That's a good question.

Answer 3

if you're being asked that question, odds are you've been introduced to the topic of gravitation in general, and most likely been shown the equation that relates gravity to two masses and the distance between them

Answer 4

Yeah, I have a paper here with some formula's on it. But, it has nothing to do with this problem. I have the little triangles and things. I do apologize, because I struggle with science.

Answer 5

the short version is that gravity isn't a "thing" that one object has over another object, but a MUTUAL attraction that 2 things have for each other. The bigger an object is, the more attraction it can exert on the things near it. That should be enough to answer this one, with no math required

Answer 6

Thank you. :)
