Question

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects is ‘x’. Keeping the (1)
masses of the object unchanged, if the distance between the objects is doubled,
then the magnitude of gravitational force between them will become:
(a) x/4 (b) x/2 (c) 2x (d) 4x

Answer 1

Answer:

a

Explanation:the formula for calculating gf is

f=gmM/r^2

let us assume another force f dash

f dash=gmM/2r^2 as the radius is doubled

f dash = gmM/4r^2

f dash= 1/4 gmM/R^2

f dash = f/4

Answer 2

Explanation:

the answer is X/4 why because of the distance between the object are double then the gravitational force is 1/2×f/2=f/4

then the question f=X

then the answer is X/4
