Question

Which of the following would increase the gravitational force between two objects, X and Y? A. Decreasing the mass of object X. B. Decreasing the mass of object Y. C. Decreasing the velocity of each object. D. Decreasing the distance between them

Answer 1

D

Decreasing the distance between them would increase the gravitational force between two objects, X and Y.

Explanation:

The mass of the two objects and the distance between them will influence the gravitational force they have on one another. This is defined using the formulae attached;

As shown in the equation; the force of gravitational pull between the two objects is inversely proportional to the distance between them. This same force is directly proportional to the mass (or rather the product of both masses) of the objects
