the
distance btwn the two masses is halved. Can you
show me how to solve ?
given:
F = 0.24 N (at distance r)
we have to find F'=? , at distance (r'=r/2)
Step2
b)
Formula Used:
F = Gmlm2
p2
for distance r,
0. 24 = Gmlm2
(1)
for distance r',
F' = Gmlm2
p2
(2)
(2) /(1)
Gmlm2
F
Gmlm2/r2
$ = (:)* = ()*
F
F' = 4F
F = 4 * 0. 24
F = 0.96 N
