Question

The gravitational attractive force between two masses is F. if the masses of both the objects are doubled. what will be the gravitational attractive force? the opstion is a)four time b)halved c)doubled d)one fourth ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The gravitational force will be 12×2, if the distance between two objects is doubled, Hence the gravitational force will be 14, if the distance between two objects is doubled. Hence the answer is reduced to a quarter.

Explanation:

Answer 2

$\large\boxed{\textsf{\textbf{\red{Question\::-}}}}$

• If the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational attraction between them

1. Is doubled
2. Becomes 4 times
3. Is reduced to half
4. Is reduced to a quarter

$\large\boxed{\textsf{\textbf{\red{Answer\::-}}}}$

• The gravitational force will be 12×2, if the distance between two objects is doubled, Hence the gravitational force will be 14, if the distance between two objects is doubled. Hence the answer is reduced to a quarter.

Hint:

• The gravitational force is directly proportional to the interacting bodies masses .The gravitational force depends on two factors.
• They are mass and distance. If the mass of anyone of the object is doubled, the force of gravity is doubled between the objects.
• As the distance between any of the objects increases, the gravitational force of the objects will decrease.
• If the two objects have two different masses, then the same gravitational force acts on both the masses.

Complete step-by-step answer:

• Newton’s law of gravitational force states that the gravitation is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the bodies. Newton’s law of gravitational force is for both small and big bodies in this universe.
