Question

if somehow the distance between the sun and the earth is double the gravitational force between them will be​

Answer 1

Answer:

the force between them will deacrease by factor of 4 as F=Gm1m2/r²

Explanation:

if the distance is doubled then

F=Gmm/(2r)²

therefore F=Gmm/4r²

Answer 2

If somehow the distance between the sun and the earth is double then the gravitational force between them will be one-fourth of the present force.

• The gravitational force depends on the gravitational constant, mass of both the objects, and the distance between them.
• The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
• So, in this case, since the distance is doubled, the square of the distance becomes 4 times.
• Now, gravitational force becomes one-fourth of the present force.
