1.	If the masses of the Earth and Sun suddenly double, the gravitational force between them will
Answer» remain the same increase 2 times increase 4 times decrease 2 times Solution :The gravition force of attraction is GIVEN by F = `(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))` If the MASSES are doubled then the force will be `F = (G(2m_(1))(2m_(2)))/(r^(2))` `F = 4 (Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))` The gravitational force beteen them will be INCREASES 4 times .
