What happens to the gravitational force between 2 object, if:
(a) the mass of one object is halved.
(b) the distance between them is halved.
(c) mass of both the objects as well as the distance between them is doubled.

Question

(a) the mass of one object is halved.
(b) the distance between them is halved.
(c) mass of both the objects as well as the distance between them is doubled.

$$F_G=\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}G$$

anonymous · Answer

G is just a random number, experimentally achieved, d is distance and m is the mass of each object.

anonymous · Answer

When you are comparing variables, set all of the variables you aren't checking equal to 1 for convenience.

anonymous · Answer

wat?

anonymous · Answer

The equation says 'The gravitational force acting between objects is equal to some number times the mass of object 1 times the mass of object 2, all divided by the distance between them squared".

ok.then
