Question

4. What happens to the force between two objects, if (i)
the mass of one object is tripled?
(ii) the distance between the objects is reduced to one third?

Answer 1

Answer:

i =

If the mass of one of the objects is tripled, then the force of gravity between them is tripled. ... Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.

Explanation:

ii=

The force of gravitation between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them therefore the gravity will become four times if distance between them is reduced to half.
