Explanation:

hey I'm not sure but I think the answer is the gravitational force will

increase 16 times.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The formula for the gravitation force is

Fg = G * m1 * m1 / r^2

You have to realize that nothing but the mass changes and that will make Fg change.

So G remains constant.

r remains constant

somehow m1 and m2 between them increase by a factor of 4. It does not tell how that increase takes place. It just does.

So m1 could become 4*m1

or

M2 could become 4*m2

or

m1 * m2 becomes 4 * m1 * m2

or

m1 and m2 could both increase by a factor of 2

or

any number of other combinations are possible. The point is that m1 * m2 must somehow between them make the new mass = 4 m1 * m2

Then the force Fg will increase by a factor of F. The answer is D
