Question

increasing which factor will cause the gravitational force between two objects to decrease?
weights of the objects
distance between the objects
acceleration of the objects
masses of the objects

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The gravitational force formula is $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $F$ is the gravitational force, $G$ is the gravitational - constant, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two objects, and $r$ is the distance between them. Increasing the distance $r$ will cause the gravitational force $F$ to decrease. Weights are related to mass and gravitational acceleration, and increasing mass increases the gravitational force. Acceleration is not directly in the gravitational - force formula for the static force between two objects.

Answer:

B. distance between the objects
