Question

what will happen to the gravitational force between two objects is
1. distance between them is doubled
2.mass of one object is doubled
3.mass of both object is reducedwhat will happen to the gravitational force between two objects is
1. distance between them is doubled​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The gravitational force is reduced to 1/4 times.
2. The gravitational force is doubled.
3. The gravitational force will also be reduced.

Explanation:

The force of gravitation between two objects is given by the equation,

F = G Mm /d²

1) If the distance is doubled, then d = 2d. The equation will be:

F = G Mm / 4d² = 1/4 × G Mm /d². So the gravitational force is reduced to 1/4 times.

2) If the mass of one object is doubled, then M = 2M. The equation will be:

F = G 2Mm /d² = 2 × G Mm /d². So the gravitational force is doubled.

3) If the mass of both the objects is reduced then the force of attraction between them will also be reduced as it is proportional to the product of the masses of the objects.
