Question

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects is 'F'. If the masses of both the objects and the distance between them are doubled, calculate the new force of attraction between the two objects. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

If 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

If 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.
