Question

(1) State whether the following statement is True or False :
If the separation between two particles is doubled, the gravitational force between the particles
becomes half the initial torce.​

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Explanation:

yes it is true because gravitational force is inversely proportional to the distance covered so as the separation between particles is doubled then gravitational force becomes half.

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As we know that mathematically-

Gravitationalforce=

$\frac{g \: m1m2}{r {}^{2} }$

Where G is constant. M1, M2 are masses of the objects and r is distance between them.

So if the distance between them is doubled then gravitational force will be one-fourth of the present force.
