homework help!
1. The force of gravity acting on an object near Earth’s surface is proportional to the mass of the object. Why does a heavy object not fall faster than a light object?
2. What happens to the gravitational force between two masses when the distance between the masses is doubled?
3. According to Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law, how does the ratio (T^2/r^3) change if the mass of the sun is doubled?
