Answer:
The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).
Explanation:
The gravitational force is the force of mutual attraction that two objects with mass experience.
The Law of Universal Gravitation enunciated by Newton says that every material particle attracts any other material particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Mathematically this is expressed as:

where m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, r the distance between them and G a universal constant that receives the name of constant of gravitation.
If the distance between two particles is reduced by half, then, where F' is the new value of the gravitational force:




F'=4*F

Distance is how far you are and displacment is separate like for someone oh From somewere
Well according to Newton’s first law of motion, a body will remain in the state of rest or linear motion provided that an *external force* has been applied. So no, a force doesn’t need to keep a body to remain in linear motion, because F=ma, during uniform linear motion velocity is constant, hence acceleration is zero, so F=0
The answer to the given question above would be option B. If a topographic map included a 6,000 ft. mountain next to an area of low hills, the statement that best describe the contour lines on the map is this: <span>The contour lines around the mountain would be very close together. Hope this helps.</span>
