Answer 2

it will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force exerted by the moon on the spacecraft is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Therefore, as the spacecraft moves away, its distance increases and the force of attraction exerted by the moon decreases.
