Question
1 the black arrows (→) in the simulation show the force of gravity on two objects, m1 and m2. what three things are true of these arrows? they have different lengths they point toward the other object they start at the center of each object they start at the surface of each object they have the same length
Brief Explanations
- Gravitational force is an attractive force, so arrows point toward the other object.
- In physics simulations, gravitational force vectors are typically drawn originating from the center of mass (center) of objects.
- By Newton's third law, the gravitational force m1 exerts on m2 is equal in magnitude to the force m2 exerts on m1, so the arrows have the same length.
