Question

what happens to the gravitational force between two objects if (1) the mass of one object is reduced to half (2) the distance between the objects is the world and tripled​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) the mass of one object is reduced to half

Answer 2

Explanation:

(1)If we halve the distance between two bodies, then the gravitational force becomes four times.

(ii) The distance between the objects is doubled and tripled

If the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled

If it’s doubled

Hence,

F = (GmM)/(2d)2

F = 1/4 (GmM)/d2

F = F/4

Force thus becomes one-fourth of its initial force.

Now, if it’s tripled

Hence,

F = (GmM)/(3d)2

F = 1/9 (GmM)/d2

F = F/9

Force thus becomes one-ninth of its initial force.
