Answer: The motion of the object will remain the same
Explanation:
Hi!
The energy of the block is 4 m/s
To calculate this, you need to use the equation for
kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because
there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

Have a nice day!
The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.
Since the formula is

If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.
So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.
So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase
