Question

As the distance between two masses increases; what happens to the gravitational force of attraction between them?

Decreases
Increases
Remains the same
It ceases to exist

Answer 1

It would Decrease so the it would be, Option A.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects is given by :

`F=(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)`

Where

g is the universal gravitational constant

`m_1\ and\ m_2` are masses

r is the distance between two masses

As the distance between two masses increases, the gravitational force of attraction between them decreases because the force is inversely proportional to the distance between objects. So, the correct option is (a).
