Question

If all of the following imaginary planets were the same distance from the sun, which would experience the strongest force of gravity due to the sum?A; Planet AB Planet BC: Planet CD; Planet D

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

planet a: mass 3,500 kg

planet b: mass 50,000 kg

planet c: mass 750 kg

planet d: mass 100,000 kg

a)planet a

b) planet b

c) planet c

d) planet d

Answer:

Planet d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The universe consists of the sun, planets, galaxies and stars with all other dust particles. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Earth is the only planet that supports the life.

The force of gravity can be calculated by the formula,

F =
`(GMm)/(r^2)`

From the formula it is clear that the mass of the planet is directly proportional to the force of gravity.

Here, the distance is same. So the planet with the largest mass has highest force of gravity. Among the given options planet (d) will experience the strongest force of gravity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
