Answer: Force is 4 times lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

F1=γ*m₁m₂/r²

r*2=2r

F2=γ*m₁m₂/4r₂

F1/F2=4

F2=F1/4

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.
