As the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between them a. decreases c. stays the same b. increases d. neutralizes

The correct answer of this question is : Increases.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the gravitational force.

As per Newton's law of gravitation, everybody in the universe attracts every other body with a force called gravitational force.

The gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of separation distance between them.

Let us consider two bodies having masses M and M' are separated by a distance R.

The gravitational force between them is calculated as -

                      Gravitational force F = .

As per the question, the distance between two objects are decreased.

Hence, the gravitational force is increased.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
