Question

A student is conducting an experiment todetermine what will happen to the gravitationforce of two boxes, with different masses, if theboxes are pushed together. One box has a-mass of 100 g and the other box has a mass of 150 g.What will happen if these two boxes were movedcoser together?A gravitational force would remain constantB. gravitational force would not be createdC. gravitational force would decreaseD. gravitational force would Increase

Answer 1

`F=(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)`

as the distance between the objects is decreasing

the force will be incresed

as the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

option D is the correct answer
