  4. It becomes zero

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two objects are moved closer together, what happens to the gravitational force between them?
  • Step 1: Understand that every object with mass has a gravitational force.
  • Step 2: Know that gravitational force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
  • Step 3: Remember the inverse square law, which states that if you decrease the distance between two objects, the gravitational force increases.
  • Step 4: Conclude that as the two objects are moved closer together, the gravitational force between them becomes stronger.
