Question

What happens to the force between two objects, if

(i) The mass of the object is doubled ?

(ii) The distance between the objects doubled.​

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
• M1 and M2 are masses of two bodies and d is the distance between them. 1) As Force is directly proportional to the mass of each object, the force will be doubled. 2) d is doubled, Force will become 1/4th as Force is inversely proportional to the square of distance separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
