How does the force of gravitation change between two
objects changes when the distance between them is reduce
to half?
Answers
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.

Good Morning
How r u?? ❤️
Here's ur answer
We know that,
Gravitational force
= F = Gm₁m₂/r²
Hemce,
F ∝ 1/r²
Therefore,
Force when distance is halved
= F' = Gm₁m₂ / (r/2)²
F' = 4Gm₁m₂/r²
F' = 4F
Hence the force will become four times of the initial force
