The table shows the relationship between the masses of two objects, the distance between the two objects, and the gravitational force between the objects. Which conclusion is supported by the data in the table? An increase in the mass of an object causes the same decrease in the gravitational force. An increase in the distance between the objects causes the same decrease in the gravitational force. An increase in the distance between the objects causes a greater change in the gravitational force than the same increase in mass. An increase in the mass causes a greater change in the gravitational force than the same increase in the distance between the objects.

Derrick Conley · Answer 1

An increase in the distance between the objects causes a greater change in the gravitational force than the same increase in mass.

Kimora Fry · Answer 2

An increase in the distance between the objects causes a greater change in the gravitational force than the same increase in mass.

F = G^m1m2/r^2

G is universal constant m₁ and m₂ are the masses and r is the distance between them

the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and indirectly proportional to the square of the distance between them.
