Question

If the masses of objects increase and their distance from each other remains the same, then the force of gravity between the two objects
A) decreases.
B) increases.
C) remains the same.
D) increases then decreases.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B. Increases.

Explanation:

The force of gravity expressed in a formula is equal to $F = G\frac{m1m2}{d^{2} }$

In which:

(F) equals the force of attraction

(G) is equal to the universal gravitation constant

(M1) represents the mass of body number 1

(M2) represents the mass of body number 2

(D) represents the distance between the two bodies

So as the masses are in the numerator, if they are increased the fraction in the same way will increase. For this reason if the masses of these bodies increases the force of gravity will also increase.

Answer 2

B. Increases coz Gravitational force is directly proportional to product of their masses. i. e if m increases, gravitational force increases.
