The relationship between the masses of the Earth, moon and Sun and their distances to each other play a critical role in how they interact. When is the gravitational attraction between the two objects the strongest?
|
|
masses are large and the objects are far apart
|
|
|
masses are small and the objects are far apart
|
|
|
masses are large and the objects are close together
|
|
|
masses are small and the objects are close together
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them. This means that the force of gravity increases with mass, but decreases with increasing distance between objects.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, the force of gravitation between the earth and the sun is 3.57 × 10 22 N .
