Question

A star exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 3 x 10^24 N on a planet. If the mass of the planet were five times as large, what would the magnitude of the gravitational force on the planet be?

Answer 1

The magnitude of the gravitational force on the planet is,

                                $5*F=5*3*10^{24}=1.5*10^{25}N$

• The Gravitational force is directly proportional to mass of the object.

                             $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2} }$

        Where G is gravitational constant.

• If the mass of the planet were five times. Then force also become five times.

Given that, force$F=3*10^{24} N$

the magnitude of the gravitational force on the planet is,

                  $5*F=5*3*10^{24}=1.5*10^{25}N$
