Question

What happens when two objects when they are brought closer together The mass of both objects decrease The mass of both objects increase The gravitational force between them decreases The gravitational force between them increases

Answer 1

Gravitational force between two objects of masses m1/m2

Step-by-step explanation:

is defined by Gm1xm2/r^2, where G is a universal constant, and r is the distance between the masses. This shows you why B is wrong; it would increase. Also, A is not a good choice, as shown. In the case of B, it would increase by say, 2/1 to 4/1 by doubling ones mass. In C's case the bottom would decrease on the fraction alot (square) if they were moved closer, thus the force would be greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

in other words the answer is The gravitational force between them increases

Answer 2

The correct option is

The gravitational force between them increases

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of their centers from each other.

The formula for universal gravitation is given as follows;

`F_(1) = F_(2) =G * (m_(1) * m_(2))/(r^(2))`

Where;

F₁, and F₂ = The gravitational forces of attraction on each mass

G = The gravitational constant

m₁ = The mass of one body

m₂ = The mass of the body

r = The distance between the centers of the two bodies

Therefore, the gravitational force of attraction on each object is inversely proportional to the as the distance between the centers of the two bodies

When the distance between the centers of the two bodies decreases, the two objects are brought closer together, the gravitational force of attraction between them increases.
