Question

What is one way that the gravitational force between the moon and the earth would increase?a. If the size of the moon decreased while the distance remained constant.b. If the size of the moon increased while the distance remained constantc. If the size of the earth increased while the distance remained constant.d. both b and c

Answer 1

d. both b and c

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mass of either object increases, the gravitational attraction between them increases.

F = G m1*m2 / r^2

Where:

F: Force

G = constant

m = masses

r = distance between objects

Mass is directly proportional to the gravitational force.
