If you double the mass of an object, how will the gravity force it exerts on other objects be affected?
Gravity force will double.
Gravity force will be 1/4 as much.
Gravity force will be 1/2 as much.
Gravity force will not be affected.
Which of the following would be a proper setup for this problem: A 60 kg person is standing on earth's surface (radius = 6.4x106 m). The mass of earth is 6x1024 kg.
(6.4x106)2(6.67x10−11)(60)(6x1024)
(6x1024)2(6.67x10−11)(60)(6.4x106)
(6.4x106)(6.67x10−11)(60)(6x1024)
(6.4x106)2(60)(6x1024)
If two objects are brought closer to 1/2 the original distance, by what factor would the gravity force between them change?
