Question
What happens to the force between two objects, if the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
✓

Answer

The force F is inversely proportional to the distance between the objects. So if the distance between two objects is doubled then the gravitational force of attraction between them is reduced to one fourth (1/4) of its original value. Similarly, if the distance between two objects is tripled, then the gravitational force of attraction becomes one ninth (1/9) of its original value.
