Question

-) The gravitational force of attraction between two bodies at a distance X is
20 N. What will be the force of attraction between them if the distance
between them is made 2X? YON​

Answer 1

Answer:

5N

Explanation:

We know,  $G \alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }$       (i.e,Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the 2 objects)

Hence, if distance doubles (X ->2X), the force should change by $2^{2}$ times,

Hence the force will be reduced by 4 times
