What happens to the force of two objects if the distance between the objects is doubled? Share with your friends Share 0 Debalina Deb answered this Dear student, From Newton's law of Gravitation, we knowF =GMmr2Where M and m are the mass of two objects, r is the distance between them and G is the universal graviationa constantthen,F ∝ 1r2so if the r becomes double , i.e. r'=2rthen,F'∝ 1(r')2then,F'F=r2(r')2=r24r2=14then,F'=F4that is force becomes one forth of the original value.

If the distance between the two objects is tripled, then Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-ninth.
