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) 0.227N
b) 6230992.7N
c) 3.40 x 10^9N
d) 780N

a) 0.61
b) 0.37
c) 1.02
d) 0.97

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) two 25kg masses would have less gravitational force if they were the same distance apart as two 15kg masses
d) mass has no effect on gravitational force, only distance does
