Answer:

e) Be four times greater

Explanation:

Here we have to use Newton's gravitational law that relates the gravitational force between two objects with their masses (m_{1} & m_{2}) and the distance between them (r) in the next way:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}} (2)

Now if distance between asteroids is halved:

F_{2}=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{(\frac{r}{2})^{2}}

F_{2}=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{\frac{r^{2}}{4}}

F_{2}=G\frac{4m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}=4G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Note that G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}} because (1) is F so:

F_{2}=4F

It's four times greater!

how will resistance change when the voltage increases in an electric circuit if the current remains constant
Yakvenalex [24]
V=IR
Potential Difference (v)= Current (A) * Resistance (Ω)
As V increases, R also increases.
