Question

If the mass of two bodies becomes thrice and the distance between them is half. what is about gravitational force????​

Answer 1

Answer:

the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces

Answer 2

Explanation:

The force of gravitational attraction between the two bodies of mass (M) and (m) is F=G

r

2

Mm

.

Now, If masses of both objects are halved without changing distance between them or M=

2

M

and m=

2

m

Now, F=G

4r

2

Mm

.

Thus, force becomes one-fourth as we reduce the masses to half without altering the distances.
