9. What happens to the force of gravity between two objects when the distance between them increases? * 1 point a. The force increases b. The force stays the same c. The force decreases d. The force becomes zero

1 answer

c. The force decreases

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity between two objects decreases as the distance between them increases. Specifically, the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the two objects.
