Two objects are placed a certain distance from each other. The amount of gravitational force between the two objects depends on

their masses and the distance between them.
As the masses of the objects decrease, the force of gravity between them
As the distance between the objects
decreases, the force of gravity between them
OA. increases, increases
OB. decreases, increases
OC. decreases, decreases
OD
increases, decreases

Answer:

OB. decreases, increases

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is F = GM1M2/r^2. so you can see the gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the distance.
