A tennis ball and a spoon sit on a table,
exactly 1 meter apart.
- The ball exerts a gravitational force on the spoon
- which is zero
- which attracts the spoon towards the ball
- which repels the spoon away from the ball
- If we replace the single tennis ball with 2 tennis balls
in the same place,
- the force on the spoon remains the same
- the force on the spoon doubles
- the force on the spoon quadruples
- Joe measures the force on the spoon to be 8 nN.
He then moves the spoon so it is 2 meters away from
the balls. As a result,
- the force becomes 2 nN
- the force becomes 4 nN
- the force remains 8 nN
