If the distance of the moon to earth were 0.25 times its current distance, the moon would exert a gravitational force on the earth how many times larger than its current value?

The new force will be 16 times the current value.

Explanation:

Lets say,

Mass of the Earth = M

Mass of the Moon = m

Distance between Earth and Moon = r

Gravitational force between the two = F

The gravitational force between the two is given as,

where, G = Gravitational constant

The new distance = 0.25r

So, the gravitational force (F') will be,

F' = 16 F

The new force will be 16 times the current value.

the answer is a. hope this .

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
