Question

Two heavenly bodies having mass 'm1' and 'm2' are separated by a distance 'd'. What happens if the masses of both the bodies are doubled keeping the distance between them constant?

Answer 1

Explanation:

F=Gm1m2/d² eq 1

if mass of both the bodies are doubled

F'=G2m1*2m2/d² eq2

using eq1 and eq2

F'=4F

gravitational force will become 4 times

Answer 2

Answer:

The force acting between the given two heavenly bodies will increase by four times

Explanation:

• The gravitational force is the overall force of attraction that exists between all objects. It is one of the universe's fundamental forces.
• The force of attraction between any two bodies is directly inversely correlated to the square of the distance between them and is directly inversely correlated to the product of their masses, according to Newton's universal law of gravitation.
• The force acting between bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
• Since the masses of both objects have doubled but the distance between them is the same, the force increases by 4 times.

The force between the two bodies will quadraple.
