MCQ

If the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational attraction between them

A
Is doubled
B
Becomes four times
C
Is reduced to half
✓
Is reduced to a quarter

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Is reduced to a quarter

d
(d) $F \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}}.$ If $r$ becomes double then $F$ reduces to $\frac{F}{4}$
