Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Inertia is the force that keeps an object at rest. Inertia is referred to as the property which results in it continuing in the state of rest that it is unless there's an external force that acts upon it.

Inertia keeps objects and things in place and it holds the universe together. When there's no force that's acting in an object, such object will continue to move in a straight line and also at a constant speed.

The gravitational force between two objects is represented by the variable F. If the distance is decreased by 5 what is the new

Anvisha [2.4K]

The universal law of gravitation states that:

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:

F/5² = F/25
