Using our understanding of the law of gravity. what happens to the gravity as we triple the distance between two objects?

remain the same

double

triple

1/2

1/3

1/4

1/9

1/9

Explanation:

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

Objects with mass feel an attractive force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

F = GMm/r²

where  

F - the gravitatioal force in Newtons,  

M   and m  -two masses in kilograms  

r  - the separation in meters.  

G  - the gravitational constant (6.674*10 ⁻¹¹ N (m/kg) ² )

Because of the magnitude of  G , gravitational force is very small unless large masses are involved.

So according to above equation , when the masses are not changing , force is inversely propotional to the square of distance

F1 ∝ 1/r² ---------------(1)

F2 ∝ 1(3r)²

F2 ∝ 1/9r²--------------(2)

(2)/(1)

From their you get as the distance tripled, Force reduce by a factor of 9(3³)

for example , assume the distance get doubled ,Force reduce by a factor of 4 (2²)

the second one and the forth one are in the purple because they are opinions and the rest are in the yellow

explanation:

im srry but ur wrong the answer is d a smooth rock, some red dirt, and an empty bird's nest.
