1. What is the gravitational force of attraction between two 800 kg spherical objects that are 5 m apart? What would the gravitational force of attraction between these two objects be if the distance between them was changed to 10 m?

Answer:

the force of gravity between them is quadrupled .

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
