Answer:
d. Two soccer balls that are touching each other
Explanation:
Let [tex]m_1[/tex] be the mass of a tennis ball, [tex]m_2[/tex] is the mass of a soccer ball.
As the mass of a soccer ball is more than the mass of a tennis ball, so
[tex]m_2 > m_1[/tex]
Let [tex]d_1[/tex] be the distance between the centers of both the balls near each other and [tex]d_2[/tex] be the distance between the centers of both the balls touching each other.
So, [tex]d_2 > d_1[/tex]
The gravitational force, F, between the two objects having masses M and m and separated by distance d is
[tex]F=\frac{GMm}{d^2}[/tex]
Where G is the universal gravitational constant.
As, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of both the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, Â so selecting the larger mass ([tex]m_2[/tex], soccer ball) separated by a lesser distance ([tex]d_2[/tex], touching) to get more gravitational force.
Therefore, there will be a larger gravitational force between them when two soccer balls touching each other.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
