a student attempts to measure the maximum possible distance two masses fan be away from one another and still register on the force meter available. the masses are 2 kg and 7 kg respectively while the fore keyer is capable of detecting a force as low as 0.000002 N. what is the greatest distance the masses can be apart and still register on the force meter?

grav force prop 1/r squared 2r all squared is 4rsquared 1/4rsquared quartered

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
