What happens to the gravitational force between two objects when the mass of one object is doubled and the distance between them is also doubled?
Answer
Correct Answer : c ) The force would be halved
Explanation :As we know that according to Newton’s law of gravitation, the gravitational force between the two objects of mass M1 and mass M2 separated by a distance d is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance.
F= G.M1M2/d2
If the mass of one object is doubled and the distance is also doubled, then the force would be halved.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
