When the masses are doubled and the separation is halved, what effect do they have on the gravitational force between the masses?

Answered by kromapdm18j

Gravitational force becomes 16 times more powerful.

kromapdm18j: Let the original force be F1.

kromapdm18j: F1 = (Gxm1xm2)/r^2

kromapdm18j: When your condition is applied, then

kromapdm18j: F2 = (Gx2m1x2m2)/(r/2)^2

kromapdm18j: F2 = (Gx4xm1xm2)/(r^2)/4

kromapdm18j: F2= 16(Gxm1xm2)/r^2

kromapdm18j: Thus, F2=16xF1.

maybe59: ok i got it

maybe59: thanks

kromapdm18j: No problem mate
