What happens to the force between two objects, if (i) the mass of one object is doubled?
GIVEN: Force F is exerted between two objects and the mass of one object is doubled than another one. TO FIND: The force between two objects when the mass of one object is doubled. According to the Universal law of gravitation, the force is directly proportional to the product of the mass of two objects, then F∞m1 m2 When the mass of one object is doubled, the force becomes twice. Therefore, when the mass of one object is doubled, then the gravitational force also gets doubled. F∞(2m1 )m2 F∞2m1 m2
