Question

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects if they move CLOSER?

a. It increases
b. It decreases
c. It does not change

Answer 1

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}`

As we know ~

Gravitational Force acting on two objects can be easily represented by formula :

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:F = (Gm_1m_2)/(r²)`

so, from above we get :

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:F \propto (1)/(r²)`

We can conclude from derived information that, Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the distance between the objects. so if the objects move closer to each other. value of r decreases. hence we can say that Gravitational force increases.

Therefore, the correct choice is A. It increases
