Gravitational force between two objects is F. How will the force change when the distance between them is reduced to 1/4 th ? |
|
Answer» tion:If distance is reduced by 1/4th, the ACTUAL decrease in distance will be: The value is squared since the FORMULA has a squared value of distance. When distance DECREASES, the FORCE INCREASES since these values are inversely proportional to each other. The gravitational constant and masses are a constant value.Thus force increases 16 times. |
