    Relationship of a planet's mass, size, and acceleration due to gravity

    Hello, Can the formula for Gravitational force between two objects be used in this scenario? If yes, then I may have something in mind. Gf = (G*m1*m2)/r2 Since mass is constant, we can disregard the numerator, leaving us with Gf = 1/r2 Making the acceleration due to gravity inversely...

    Relationship of a planet's mass, size, and acceleration due to gravity

    Choice D is obviously wrong therefore leaving us with choices A, B, and C. Can someone explain the relationship of the three variables stated above (mass, volume, and acceleration due to gravity)? Thank you.

    Undergrad What slows an object during collision, force or loss of energy?

    My bad. Anyways, after reading the question then your reply, I have a question that may or may not be related to his. Why do elastic collisions conserve kinetic energy? What makes them different from inelastic ones? Thank you for replying :)

    Undergrad What slows an object during collision, force or loss of energy?

    Kinetic Energy is converted to Heat Energy due to the nature of inelastic collisions
