Group of answer choices

No, because it gives distance in meters and not inches.

No, because it gives distance but, we do not know the size of the objects.

Yes, because it gives distance and size.

Yes, because it gives mass and distance.

1 answer

To determine if the diagram provides enough information to calculate the Gravitational Force, the key factors needed are the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

The correct choice is:

Yes, because it gives mass and distance.

As long as the masses of the objects and the distance between them are provided, you can use Newton's law of universal gravitation to calculate the gravitational force.
