Question

if the distance between two object is double, the force of attraction between them will be-
a) one-fourth b) Half
c) Double d) if will not change​

Answer 1

Answer:

The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

So, if the distance between two objects is doubled, then the gravitational force becomes

2×2

1

.

That is, 1/4.

Therefore, if the distance between two masses be doubled, then the force between will becomes 1/4.

option A is the correct answer
