Newton’s Law of Gravity states that if the mass of one object doubles, the gravitational pull on a second object will _____.

Question

doubles

quadruples

decreases by half

decreases by half of half

Answer 1

According to Newton's Law of Gravity, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. Therefore, if the mass of one object doubles, the gravitational pull on a second object will double as well.

So the correct answer is: doubles.
