Example: Scenarios & Dependencies 2.2 Masses M and m a attract each other with a gravitational force |F a |. If mass m a were replaced with a mass m b =3m a, and it were moved three times farther away, what is the new force, |F b |, in terms of |F a |?

Q 3.2 a: Mass Dependence The gravitational force exerted by a planet on one of its moons is 4x10 23 Newtons when the moon is at a particular location. If the mass of the moon were two times larger what would the force on the moon be? A.1x10 23 N B.3x10 23 N C.6x10 23 N D.8x10 23 N

Q 3.2 a: Mass Dependence The gravitational force exerted by a planet on one of its moons is 4x10 23 Newtons when the moon is at a particular location. If the distance of the moon were 2 times larger what would the force on the moon be? A.1x10 23 N B.3x10 23 N C.6x10 23 N D.8x10 23 N

Q 3.2 b: Distance Dependence The gravitational force exerted by a planet on one of its moons is 3e23 Newtons when the moon is at a particular location. If the distance between the moon and the planet was doubled, what would the force on the moon be? 1.5e23 N 3e23 N 6e23 N 0.75e23 N 0.33e23 N
