An object has released on the surface of a certain planet where gravitational field strength is more than the Earth (g =10 N/kg). What will be the acceleration of the object due to gravity on that planet? In this option:-
i. faster than Earth
ii. slower than Earth
iii. same as Earth
iv. acceleration will be zero.

Answer:
Question1.
How does the force of gravitation between two objects change when the distance between them is reduced to half?
Answer:
According to Universal law of gravitation, the force of attraction between 2 bodies is:-
F = (G m1m2)/r2
Where m1m2 = the masses of the two bodies,
r = distance between them
G = gravitational Constant
When the distance is reduced to half i.e. r’ = (1/2) r then,
F’ = (G m1m2)/r2
= (G m1m2)/(r/2)2
= (4 G m1m2)/ (r2) = 4F
Therefore when the distance between the objects is reduced to half, then the force of gravitation increases by four times the original force.
