If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?

Respuesta :

If the distance between two objects decreased, the force of gravity will increase

Newton law of gravity

This states that the force of attraction between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

Mathemaically, it is expressed as:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

Where

  • F is the force
  • G is the gravitational constant (6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²)
  • M₁ and M₂ are the masses of the objects
  • r is their distance apart.

How to determine the force when the distance decrease

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

From the above equation, we can see that force (F) is inversely proportional to the distance (r).

Thus, if the distance between the objects decrease, the force will increase.
