Question

According to the universal law of gravitation, if you double the masses of both attracting objects, then the gravitational force between them will

Answer 1

Answer:

The gravitational force between them will be quadrupled

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart. Mathematically represented by;

$F=G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2} }$

if the masses of both objects are doubled, then the masses will be 2m1 and 2m2

$F_{2}=G\frac{2m1*2m2}{r^{2} }$

$F_{2}=4*G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2} }$

$F_{2}=4F$
