Question

the gravitational force beween two objects is f . if the masses of both the objects are halfed without changing the distance between them then the gravitational force will become _________________
answer with steps

Answer 1

Answer:   F/4

Explanation:

1.)We have seen that the masses that are responsible for making the force are being reduced to their half.

2.)Now since the force that is present between them is proportional directly and depends on the masses.

3.)Hence being Halved would just reduce the previous force to its fourth part rest all the options being the same. Since the first option has the answer which says fourth part of force. Hence it is correct.
