Question

Answer the following questions in reference to the figure below:

1. Which relation is shown in the figure?
2. What will happen if the mass of one of the objects is doubled?

Answer 1

1. Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to their mass product and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.
   `"F" ∝ ("m"_1"m"_2)/"d"^2`
2. If the mass of one of the two things is doubled, the gravitational force between the two objects is also doubled, according to Newton's universal law of gravity.
