The gravitational force between two objects is F

• GP Gravitation

The gravitational force between two objects is F. If masses of both objects are halved without changing distance between them, then the gravitational force would become

1. F/4
2. F/2
3. F
4. 2F

Answer

Gravitational Force, F = G m₁ m₂ / r²

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of two objects respectively.

Now, if masses of both objects are halved without changing distance between them, the new gravitational force will become 1/4 times its original gravitational force.

The correct option is A.
