How does the distance between two objects affect the force of gravity?
|
|
The closer the two objects are the more gravitational force they have.
|
|
|
The farther apart the two objects are the more gravitational force they have.
|
|
|
The closer the two objects are the less gravitational force they have.
|
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, when the distance between the objects is reduced to half, the gravitational force increases four times.
