How does the force of gravitation between two objects change when the distance between them is reduced to half?

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. That is, if the distance is halved (reduced by a factor of 2), the force will increase by a factor of 22 = 4. Another example: if the distance is increased by a factor of 10, the force will be reduced by a factor of 102 = 100.

∙ 10y agoGravitational force also get halved since G is directly proportional to product of the masses and inversely to square of the distance between them.
Apply this with the equation :
force (Newtons) = ( G * m1 * m2 ) / d ²
G is the gravity constant = 6.673 e -11
m1 = mass, object 1
m2 = mass, object 2
d = center to center distance in metres
Halving either mass also halves the force.

∙ 9y agoSince the gravitational force is inversely proportional to r2 , where r is the distance between two separate objects, the gravitational force is increased by 1/(r/2)2.
The Gravitational force formula for object of mass m1 and mass m2 is:
F = G m1 m2/r2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, and as mentioned r is the distance between the two objects.

∙ 14y agoThe force is proportional to the inverse square of the distance.
(Half the distance) ===> (4 times the original force)

∙ 12y agoIf the distance between the centers-of-mass of two bodies is reduced by 1/2,
the gravitational force between them is multiplied by 4.

What happens to the force of gravity as mass increases and as the distance between the objects increase?
It decreases. Gravity in inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
The force of gravity on a spacecraft some distance from the earth is 800N What would that force be if its distance to the earth's centre were one half as great?
gravitational attraction between two bodies conforms to an inverse square law, so the force applied to the spacecraft by the earth is proportional to one over the displacement squared in this case, one quarter squared is one sixteenth, so the force would be multiplied by one over one sixteenth, which is sixteen the force would therefore be 800 x 16 = 12800N
How does the force of gravity between two bodies change when the distance between them tripled?
The gravitational pull of an object in relation to its distance from another object is an inverse square law. When the distance between two objects is doubled, their pulled on each other is quartered. G ∝ 1/r2 where G is the gravitational pull and r is the separation.
What will happen to the force of gravity if the mass of one of the objects is tripled?
You didn't specify what force. some forces have an inverse-square relationship. That is to say, the force of gravity, or electrostatic attraction or repulsion, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance - if the distance is tripled, the force is reduced by a factor of 9.You didn't specify what force. some forces have an inverse-square relationship.

In what way is gravity reduced with distance from earth?
Each time you double your distance from the center of the earth, the accelerationof gravity, and its force on you (your weight) decrease by 75%.
What happens to the magnitude of the force of gravitation between two objects if distance between the object is trippled?
As the force due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, as the distance is trippled the force would be reduced by 32 times ie 9 times.
What happens to the strength of gravity when the distance is doubled?
When the distance between the centers of two objects is doubled, the gravitational forces between the objects are reduced by 75% .
What happens to magnetic attraction as the distance between the objects gets larger?
It is reduced.
If the distance between two objects triples gravity will be?
... reduced to 1/9th of the original force.
What does increasing distance between objects have on the gravitational attraction between them?
The force of gravitational attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of mass of the objects. For example, if the distance increases by a factor of two, the attraction is reduced by a factor of four.
If the distance between 2 objects doudle what happens to the gravitational attraction?
Gravity force will be reduced by a factor of 4.
What happens if the distance between two objects is reduced to half?
The gravitational force becomes 4 times stronger than it was before the objects moved closer.
What happens to the force of gravity as mass increases and as the distance between the objects increase?
It decreases. Gravity in inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
How does the electric force between two charged objects change if you double the distance between the objects?
The electric force between two charged objects is decreased by a factorof 4 if you double the distance between the objects, from the formulaF=(q1*q2)/(4*Pi*Eo*r^2).

gravitational attraction between two bodies conforms to an inverse square law, so the force applied to the spacecraft by the earth is proportional to one over the displacement squared in this case, one quarter squared is one sixteenth, so the force would be multiplied by one over one sixteenth, which is sixteen the force would therefore be 800 x 16 = 12800N
What happens to the force between charged and uncharged objects as the distance between them increased?
as the distance is increased statically induced charge in the uncharged object reduced to a minimum. Thus coulombic force which is directly proportional to the product of the charges tends to 0.
According to Coulombs Law how does distance affect the electric force?
Electric force can act at a distance, but is stronger when objects are closer. the electric force is larger the closer the two objects are The electric force varies with the distance between the charges. The closer they are, the stronger the force. The farther apart they are, the weaker the force.
