Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine how the force of gravitation between two objects changes when the distance between them is reduced to half, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Universal Law of Gravitation**: The gravitational force \( F \) between two objects of masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) separated by a distance \( r \) is given by the formula: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^2} ...
