The gravitational force between the two objects A) It increases.
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
(1)
where
G is the gravitational constant
are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the objects
In this problem, object A and object B are initially at a distance of
r = 100 m
And at that distance, the force between them is
F
Later, object A gains some mass. We notice from eq.(1) that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of either of the two objects increases, then the gravitational force between them also increases. Therefore, the new force will be larger than the original force:
F' > F
