Question

what happens to the force between two objects if.

a)the mass of one object is doubled.

b) distance between the object is doubled.

c) masses of both the objects are doubled.​

Answer 1

The mass of both of the objects is doubled

Answer 2

$\huge{ \purple{ \bold{ \underline{ \underline{ \overline{ \overline{ \pink{Answer}}}}}}}}$

a) So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases. If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. If the mass of one of the objects is tripled, then the force of gravity between them is tripled.

b) If the distance between the two objects is doubled, then Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-fourth. If the distance between the two objects is tripled, then Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-ninth.

c) 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
