The gravitational force between two objects is represented by the variable F.

If the masses are both doubled and the distance is halved, what is the new gravitational force?

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.

D is the distance between both objects.

now, we change these numbers

Fgravitynew = G*(2*mass1*2*mass2)/(1/2 * D)² =

= G*(4*mass1*mass2)/(D²/4) =

= 4* (G*(mass1*mass2)/D²) *4 =

= 16* (G*(mass1*mass2)/D²) = 16*Fgravity

so, the new gravitational force will be 16×F.
