The magnitude of the gravitational force betwee... - WAEC Physics 2001 Question
The magnitude of the gravitational force between two particles 0.10m apart is 10N. If the distance between them is increased to 0.20m, calculate the magnitude of the new force
A
40.0N
B
20.0N
C
5.0N
D
2.5N
correct option: d
\(g_1 = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2_1}\)
\(m_1m_2 = \frac{gr^2_1}{G}\)
\(g_2 = \frac{Ggr^2_1}{Gr^2_2} = \frac{10 \times 0.1^2}{0.2^2}\)
= 2.5N
\(m_1m_2 = \frac{gr^2_1}{G}\)
\(g_2 = \frac{Ggr^2_1}{Gr^2_2} = \frac{10 \times 0.1^2}{0.2^2}\)
= 2.5N
