Exam-style question
Try this first
If the mass of two objects is 5 kg and 10 kg, and they are 2 meters apart, what is the gravitational force between them? (Use G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m²/kg²) Scenario focus: potential gradients in a distinct A-Level Physics fields context; identify the field quantity, source, direction, and unit before selecting the answer.
- A.1.67 x 10^-10 N
- B.1.67 x 10^-9 N
- C.1.67 x 10^-8 N
- D.1.67 x 10^-7 N
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- 1.67 x 10^-10 N
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is 1.67 x 10^-10 N. This is correct for Gravitational fields because the stem is testing potential gradients; the chosen option keeps the field quantity, source interaction, direction, and unit consistent.
The alternatives are weaker because they mix gravitational, electric, magnetic, orbital, or transformer ideas, or they attach the right number to the wrong physical meaning.
