Question

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects when the distance between them increases by 3 times?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It decreases by 9 times

Answer 2

Answer:

it will decrease by 9 times

Explanation:

gravitational force F follows the inverse square law. Which means F us proportional to

$\frac{1}{ {r}^{2} }$

where r is the distance between two bodies.

if r will increase by 3 times then F will decrease by

$\frac{1}{ {3}^{2}} = \frac{1}{9}times$
