Question

HELP WILL MARK U BRAINLESIST
A 20 pound barbell is brought from earth to the International Space Station(ISS). How does this trip affect the
gravitational force between the two ends of the barbell? Assume the distance between the barbell end masses does not
change.
-I
11-
A The gravitational force between the ends increases.
B The gravitational force between the ends decreases.
The gravitational force between the ends remains the same.
D The gravitational force between them decreases by one half.
The gravitational force between them doubles.

Answer 1

Answer:

B The gravitational force between the ends decreases

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
