Question

(01.01 MC) If the distance between two objects increased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them? It would increase It would decrease It would stay the same It would depend on the speed.

Answer 1

Using universal law of gravitation

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(r^2)`

where

F =Force

G = Gravitation constant

`\begin{gathered} m_1_{}=mass_{}\text{ of }object\text{ 1} \\ m_2=mass\text{ of object 2} \\ r=\text{distance apart} \end{gathered}`

Base on the formula above the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart. This simply implies that if the distance between the 2 objects increases the force of gravity will
