Question

If the masses of objects increase and their distance from each other remains the same, then the force of gravity between the two objects

A) decreases.
B) increases.
C) remains the same.
D) increases then decreases.

Answer 1

Answer:The answer is B increases

Explanation:Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

Answer 2

The force of gravity is that amount of attractive force which is exerted between two bodies on each other.

As per Newton's law of gravitation the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of separation distance between them.

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

Here G is the gravitational constant whose value is 6.67×
`10^(-11) } N m^2kg^-2`

As per the question the masses of the objects are increased keeping the separation distance same.

As force of gravity ∝ product of masses of two bodies,

Hence the force of gravity increases with the increase of mass.
