Given:
The gravitational force between objects A and B is F = 5 N
To find the force when distance is reduced to half.
Explanation:
The gravitational force is calculated by the formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\frac{Gm_Am_B}{r^2} \\ =5\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Here, G is the universal gravitational constant.
m_A is the mass of object A
m_B is the mass of object B
r is the distance between the objects.
The new distance is r'=r/2
The new gravitational force will be
