Question 11
An object of mass 2 kilograms is falling freely near Earth's surface. Which of the following options best approximates the magnitude of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the object?
A
0.0 N

B
0.2 N

C
2 N

D
20 N

Respuesta :

Answer:

the magnitude of gravitational force would be 20 N

Explanation:

therefore on a body of mass m by earth is [tex]\frac{GMm}{r^{2}}[/tex]

where M  is the mass of earth m is the mass of body, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance of seperation from centre of earth.

therefore F =[tex]m\times \frac{GM}{r^{2}}=mg=10m[/tex]

therefore F = 20 N.
