Is the the force increased to twice as much when the distance between two stars decreases by half?

It is 4 times bigger. Newton's Law of Gravitation says that the gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. More specifically F = (G*m1*m2)/(r2). If you cut the distance in half, you have to square that, which is 1/4 so the force is 4 times bigger.

∙ 14y agoThe gravitational force between two masses is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers of mass. If the masses don't change but the distance between their centers decreases by half: Original force = (konstant) times (1/D)2 New force = (same konstant) times [ 1/(D/2) ]2 = (2/D)2 = 4 (1/D)2 = four times the original force.

When the distance between the objects decreases the electrical force increase or decreases?
decreases
What happens to the force between charged and uncharged objects as the distance between them decrease?
a) stays constant b) decreases sharply c) increase d) decreases slightly
How does the electric force between two charged objects change when the distance between the objects decreases?
Less distance --> more force.
What is the relationship between the force of gravity and distance?
The forces of gravity between you and another mass are stronger when you're closer to the other mass, and weaker when you're farther away from it. Added: Explained by this equation. F = G(m1m2)/r2 The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between the two bodies.
What is the force of gravity between two objects if the distance decreases?
It increases with distance^2
What happens to the gravitational force between two objectes if the distance between them is increased?
the gravitational force between them decreases.
What happens to the gravity as the distance between the objects is increased?
The size of the force decreases. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
When the distance between the objects decreases the electrical force increase or decreases?
decreases
Find the change in the force of gravity between two planets when the distance between them is increased by a factor of five?
When the distance between the centers of two planets decreases to 1/10th of the original distance,the gravitational force between them increases to 100 times the original force.
How does the force of gravity between two bodies change when the distance between them is increased by 4?
Provided neither mass changes, the mutual gravitational force of attraction betweentwo bodies decreases to 1/16 of its original value when the distance between theircenters increases to 4 times the original distance.
What happens to force of gravity when the distance between two objects decreases?
As the distance between two objects decreases (i.e. they get closer together), the force of gravity increases.
What happens to the force between charged and uncharged objects as the distance between them decrease?
a) stays constant b) decreases sharply c) increase d) decreases slightly
How does the electric force between two charged objects change when the distance between the objects decreases?
Less distance --> more force.
What is the relationship between the force of gravity and distance?

How does distance affect the gravitational force between to objects?
Distance decreases the gravitational force, F=k/r2.
What is the force of gravity between two objects if the distance decreases?
It increases with distance^2
How does the distance between 2 charges impact the force between them?
The electromagnetic force between two charges decreases at a rate inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
