Question

If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?

A- It would increase

B- It would stay the same

C- It would depend on the speed

D- It would decrease

Answer 1

it would stay the same

Explanation: i just took the quiz

Answer 2

Answer: A- It would increase

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

`F=G(m_(1)m_(2))/(r^2)`

Where:

`F` is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

`G` is the universal gravitation constant.

`m_(1)` and
`m_(2)` are the masses of both objects

`r` is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase.
