Question

Zach performed several experiments related to gravity. At the end of one experiment, Zach concluded that the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the objects.

Which set of data did Zach use to form this conclusion?
A.
Distance Mass 1 Mass 2 Force
10 m 10 kg 15 kg 1.0 × 10-10 N
10 m 15 kg 15 kg 1.5 × 10-10 N
10 m 10 kg 30 kg 2.0 × 10-10 N
10 m 20 kg 20 kg 2.7 × 10-10 N
10 m 20 kg 30 kg 4.0 × 10-10 N
B.
Distance Mass 1 Mass 2 Force
5 m 10 kg 10 kg 2.7 × 10-10 N

25 m 25 kg 9.8 m/s2 2.3 s

Answer 1

Group A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The masses and forces all fit the equation

F = 6.67x10⁻¹¹•m₁•m₂ / 100

where 100 = d²
