Question

If the distance between two objects is doubled, the gravitational force between them:
(A) remains unchanged
(B) becomes half
(C) becomes one-fourth
(D) becomes double

Answer 1

Answer:

option b becomes half is right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

(C) becomes one-fourth

Explanation:

According to Newton's gravitational law, every object attracts each and every object to each other and that force of attraction is directly proportional to the sum of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance square between them.

The greater the mass of two objects, the greater the gravitational force the masses exert on each other. The force of gravity between the bodies is doubled if one of the masses is multiplied. The force of gravity decreases as the distance between the objects increases. If the distance is doubled, the gravity force is as strong as before as one-fourth.
