Question 6
Gravitational FieldThe gravitational force between two objects depends on
- A.the mass of both objects and the distance between them
- B.the location of both objects and the mass
- C.the volume of both objects and the surface area
- D.the surface area only
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (the mass of both objects and the distance between them)
Explanation
Newton's law: F = Gm1m2/r2, so the force depends on both masses and the distance between them.
