Question

Imagine a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: Moon A and Moon B.

The mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons.

Moon A is farther away from the new planet than Moon B.

What is the planet's gravitational pull on Moon A compared to the planet's gravitational pull on Moon B?

Answer 1

A.
The gravitational pull on Moon B is greater than on Moon A because Moon B is farther away from the new planet than Moon A.

B.
The gravitational pull on Moon B is greater than on Moon A because Moon B is closer to the new planet than Moon A.

C.
The planet's gravity repels Moon A with a greater force than it repels Moon B, which is why Moon A is farther away.

D.
The gravitational pull on Moon A is the same as the gravitational pull on Moon B because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.

Answer 2

my computer wont load peer answer today for some reasson:(

Answer 3

Okay im glad it isnt my computer lol, well do you happen to know the answer to this quesrtion?

Answer 4

Force = 1/r^2

Answer 5

lmao alrighty, wellt hanks anways

Answer 6

You're welcome! :)

Answer 7

@skullpatrol idk how to do that

Answer 8

From physics gravitational force depends on the distance the object is, right?

Answer 9

yes
