Which change will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects?

A. Increasing the masses of the objects and increasing the distance between the objects
B. Decreasing the masses of the objects and decreasing the distance between the objects
C. Increasing the masses of the objects and decreasing the distance between the objects
D. Decreasing the masses of the objects and increasing the distance between the objects

Answer (1)

To increase the gravitational force between two objects, you can increase their masses and decrease the distance between them. The formula for gravitational force shows that both larger masses and a smaller distance result in a stronger force. Thus, the correct choice is to increase the masses and decrease the distance. ;
