Question 1

What formula expresses Newton's law of universal gravitation?

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²
F = m * a
F = G * (m * r²)

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between mass and distance in gravity.

Question 2

True or False: Gravitational potential energy is always positive.

True
False

💡 Hint: Remember what happens as mass moves far away from the gravitational source.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Two masses, 5 kg and 10 kg, are 3 m apart. Calculate the gravitational force between them.

💡 Hint: Be careful with the units as they all need to be consistent.

Challenge 2 Hard

If another mass of 2 kg is added between the two masses from the previous problem, affecting the total gravitational force, calculate the new force.

💡 Hint: Use the force calculations you did previously and consider the distances carefully.
