Question

3 multiple choice 1 point the gravitational constant \g\ appears in the equation for gravitational force and gravitational field strength. what is the value for big g, and is it always the same value whenever we use the equation for gravitational force in this class? g = 6.67 on earth, but is different depending on the mass of the planet used in the equation g = 6.67 10^11 on earth, but is different depending on the mass of the planet used in the equation g = 6.67, and yes it is always the same value. g = 6.67 10^-11, and yes it is always the same value

Explanation:

The gravitational constant \( G \) is a universal constant. Its value is \( 6.67\times10^{- 11}\space N\cdot m^{2}/kg^{2} \) and does not change depending on the location (like Earth or another planet) or the masses of the objects in the gravitational force equation \( F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2}} \).

Answer:

D. \( G = 6.67\times10^{-11} \), and yes it is always the same value.
