Question

Gravitational force multiple choice

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. The force would be quartered (factor of 1/4).

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects can be expressed with the equation:

By analyzing the equation, we can see that if we multiply both m1 and m2 by 1/2, the resulting new F would be lower by a factor of 1/4 (as 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4).

Thus the correct answer is option B.
