Two masses m1 and m2 exert a gravitational force of 12 N onto each other when they are 6 m apart.

What will the gravitational force be if the masses are moved closer to be 3 m apart?

48 N

24 N

3 N

6 N***

cut the distance by half, multiply the force by 4, since F varies inversely as the square of the distance: 1/d^2
so like.... @ooblek i got 9 Lol
