Question : 1
How does the force of gravitation between two objects change when the distance between them is reduced to half?
Answer:
According to the universal law of gravitation, gravitational force (F) acting between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them, i.e.,
If distance r becomes r/2, then the gravitational force will be proportional to
Hence, if the distance is reduced to half, then the gravitational force becomes four times larger than the previous value.
