Distance between them increases
B
Distance between them decreases
C
Mass of both objects decreases
D
Distance and mass both decrease
Correct Answer: Option B — Distance between them decreases
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects, s...
According to Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects, so as the distance decreases, the force of attraction between them increases.
