Suppose the gravitational force between two massive spheres is 100 N. If the distance between the spheres is divided by 3, what is the force between the masses?

Answer:

300N

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the distance between the spheres has decreased, the gravitational pull will become stronger by the same decrease in the distance.

In this case:

100N × 3 = 300N
