Answer:

The answers that apply are;

decreasing the mass of both objects

decreasing the mass of one of the objects

increasing the distance between the objects

The formulae for gravity is; Gravity (g) = GM/R^2;

G is the gravitational constant ( 6.67 × 10^-11)

M is the mass of the planet (in kg)

R is the radius of the planet (in m)

When two objects are pulling on one another then the formula for the gravitational force between them is;

F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

Therefore, as observed, the gravitational forces are inversely proportional to the distance between the objects and directly proportional mass of the two objects

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps
