Two objects exert a gravitational force of 3 N on one another when they are 10 m apart. What would that force be if the distance between the two objects were reduced to 5 m?

A1.5 N
B6 N
C12 N
D24 N

Gravitational force = G ( m1 m2 ) / r²
3 = G ( m1 m2 ) / ( 10 )²x = G ( m1 m2 ) / ( 5 )²We shall divide those two equations:3 / x = 1/100 / 1/25 = 25 / 100 = 1 / 4x · 1 = 3 · 4x = 12Answer:C. 12 N
