Question

figure a shows a stronger gravitational force than figure b. what happens to the gravity between two objects when the mass of an object decreases? it decreases it increases it stays the same

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation \(F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\), 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 their centers. When the mass of an object (\(m_1\) or \(m_2\)) decreases while other factors (\(G\) and \(r\)) remain unchanged, the value of \(F\) (gravitational force) will decrease because \(F\) is directly proportional to the product of the masses.

Answer:

It decreases
