By reducing the masses of two bodies to half, the gravitational force between them will become ______?
Answer: One fourth
Explanation
Gravitational force (F) is given by:
F ∝ (m1 * m2) / r²
If both masses (m1 and m2) are halved:
New force F' ∝ ((m1/2) * (m2/2)) / r²
F' ∝ (m1 * m2) / (4 * r²)
F' = F / 4
The gravitational force becomes one fourth.
