Gravitational attraction depends on the mass of the objects as well as their distance. The gravitational force between objects increases as the masses of the objects increase. The gravitational force decreases as the distance between objects increases. Using the model provided, what happens to gravitational force when the distance between two objects is decreased by half?
A) The gravitational attraction increases 4x.
B) The gravitational attraction increases 2x.
C) The gravitational attraction remains constant.
D) The gravitational attraction decreases by 1/4.

Please Help!!

When the distance between the two objects is decreased by half, then Option B: The gravitational attraction increases 2x.

Explanation:

'Gravitational force' is always the reverse to the space between the two objects.

If the distance between the two objects increases, gravitational force decreases between them. On the other hand, using the given model if the distance between the two objects is decreased by half then the gravitational force is doubled. Thus, option B is the correct option which says that gravitational force will become 2 times. It will not increase 4 times as per option A. It will also not remain constant as per option C, neither it will decrease by 1/4 as per Option D.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
