Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
