If the distance between the earth and mo...

If the distance between the earth and moon were doubled, the gravitational force between them will be

A

halved

B

doubled

C

quadrupled

D

reduced to `(1//4)^("th")`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`(F_(2))/(F_(1))=((r_(1))/(r_(2)))^(2)=((r)/(2r))^(2)=(1)/(4)`
`F_(2)=(F)/(4).`
