7) A 35.0kg probe lands on a planet. The planet's mass is 7.34 x 10^22kg . The distance from the center of the probe to the center of the planet is 2.75 x 10^7m. Find gravitational force (G is 6.67 x 10^-11 n*m^2/kg^2)
A
6230992.7N
B
3.40 x 10^9N
C
0.227N
D
780N

A
0.61
B
1.02

0.37
D
0.97
9) Which of the following statements is correct?
A
two 25kg masses would have more gravitational force if they were the same distance apart as two 15kg masses
B
Two bodies that were 45kgs would have more gravitational force if they were farther apart than closer
C
mass has no effect on gravitational force, only distance does
D
two 25kg masses would have less gravitational force if they were the same distance apart as two 15kg masses
