Question

when the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity between the objects
increases
decreases
stays the same

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation states that the gravitational force \( F \) between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance \( r \) between their centers (\( F \propto \frac{1}{r^2} \)). So, as the distance \( r \) increases, the gravitational force \( F \) decreases.

Answer:

decreases
