The gravitational force between two objects is 2700 N. What will be the gravitational force between the objects if the distance between them triples?

Respuesta :

F = GMm/r^2

So F is proportional to 1/r^2

F2 = 2700 x ( 1 / 3^2 ) = 300N

As two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. ... If the separation distance between any two objects is tripled (increased by a factor of 3), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 9 (3 raised to the second power).
