How does the force of attraction between...

How does the force of attraction between the two bodies depend upon their masses and distance between them ? A student thought that two bricks tied together would fall faster than a single one under the action of gravity. Do you agree with his hypothesis or not ? Comment.

Two blocks of masses M and 3M are placed on a horizontal, frictionless surface. A light spring is attached to one of them and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them. A cord initially holding the blocks together is burned, after that, the block of mass 3M moves to the right with a speed of 2.00 m//s . (a) What is the velocity of the block of mass M . (b) Find the system's original elastic potential energy, taking M = 0.350 kg . (c) Is the original energy in the spring or in the cord? Explain your answer.
