What happens to the force of attraction between the two objects if both their masses
are halved and at the same time distance between them is doubled?
Answers
When distance between objects is doubled, force of attraction will become 122=14 times i.e. will become one-fourth. (3) When distance between objects is halved, force of attraction will become 1(12)2=114=4 times i.e. will become four times.
btw this is alone king

Explanation:
t appears that you are talking about gravitational force of attraction between two objects.
Force of gravitation between two objects is
directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects
(2) As such when both the masses are doubled, their product will become
4
times. Hence force of attraction will be quadrupled.
inversely proportional to the square of distance between them
(1) When distance between objects is doubled, force of attraction will become
1

=

4
times i.e. will become one-fourth.
(3) When distance between objects is halved, force of attraction will become
1

=
4
times i.e. will become four times.
