1. What is the gravitational force of attraction between two 800 kg spherical objects that are 5 m apart? What would the gravitational force of attraction between these two objects be if the distance between them was changed to 10 m?

the force of gravity between them is quadrupled .

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
