Question

The mass of an object decreases by one-half. What happens to the gravitational force between the object and a second object whose mass stays the same?(1 point) Responses The gravitational force doubles. The gravitational force doubles. The gravitational force decreases to one-fourth. The gravitational force decreases to one-fourth. The gravitational force stays the same, as long as the objects remain on Earth. The gravitational force stays the same, as long as the objects remain on Earth. The gravitational force decreases by one-half.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The gravitational force decreases by one-half.
