The general formula is: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself. I hope so:
Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)
New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)
= (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)
= (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)
= (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)
= (4) x (original momentum).
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together
