The force (the same on each object) can be calculated from:
force (newtons) = (G * m1 * m2) / d2
where:
G = newtons gravity constant
m1 = mass - object 1
m2 = mass - object 2
d = distance between centres of gravity

They will accelerate toward each other according to:
Acceleration = force / mass
As the distance between them decreases, the force of attraction will increase
leading to greater rate of acceleration.
As mass increases, so does the gravitational pull from the object.
If the distance between them is decreasing, then the mutual gravitational attraction is increasing. They don't necessarily have to be accelerating. Just moving steadily would do it, as long as the separation distance is decreasing.
There will be a gravitational force of attraction between them, but this would be the same in a vacuum as it would be in any other place.
When mass is doubled, gravitational attraction is doubled. There is a direct relationship.=========================Answer #2:Gravitational attraction always involves two objects, and the strength of thegravitational forces between them is proportional to the product of both masses.So . . .-- If one mass or the other is doubled, the forces are doubled.-- If both masses are doubled, the gravitational forces become 4 times as great.
The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
Gravity force will be reduced by a factor of 4.

The heavier object becomes the dominant one. They will not come together at the same speed, the lighter object will move faster.

Gravitational force is dependent on mass and distance, so the force of attraction between two objects being pulled together by gravitational attraction would increase. For example, on earth, the acceleration due to gravity changes depending on the distance from the earth's center. At sea level, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.807m/s2, whereas on the summit of Mount Everest, it is about 9.796m/s2.
It decreases as the square of the distance.
the gravitational force between them decreases.
