If the distance between two objects is doubled, the gravitational force between them:A. remains the sameB. gets doubledC. gets halvedD. becomes one – fourth

Answer»

If the distance between two objects is doubled the gravitational force becomes one fourth since,

F = G\(\frac{m_1\times m_2}{R^2}\)

Where R is the distance between the bodies.

So, if R’ = 2R, then

F' = G\(\frac{m_1\times m_2}{R'^2}\)

F' = G\(\frac{m_1\times m_2}{4\times R^2}\) = \(\frac{F}{4}\)

Hence, option D is correct.
