Question

I'm kinda debating whether it decreases...I dunno I'm asking to clarify, and if its the answer I picked please explain your why

Thx

If two objects are close to each other and the mass of one object decreases, what happens to the force of gravity acting between the objects? (4 points) Select one: a. It decreases b. It stays the same c. It increases d. It increases or decreases, depending on how much the mass increases

Answer 1

The force of gravity between two objects depends on the product of their masses. If one mass decreases, then the product decreases, and the force decreases. It doesn't matter whether they're 0.01 inch apart or 100 light years apart.
