Example Question #1 : Gravitational Force And Weight
If the distance between two objects is reduced by two-thirds, how will the gravitational force between the objects be affected?
Possible Answers:
Decreases by a factor of
Increases by a factor of
Increases by a factor of
Increases by a factor of
Decreases by a factor of
Correct answer:
Increases by a factor of
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
If the distance is reduced by two-thirds, then the final distance is equal to one-third the original distance.
Using this term in the equation will show that the force increases by a factor of nine.
