Imagine for a minute that the moon is held in its orbit about the earth by electrical forces rather than by gravitation. what electrical charges −q on the earth and +q on the moon are necessary to hold the moon in a circular orbit with a period of 27.3 days? the earth-moon distance is 384 000 km and the mass of the moon is 7.35 × 1022 kg.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

i believe the answer is electric potential.

answer: d. objects on jupiter experience more gravity due to more gases
