B. Decreasing the distance decreases the force.
C. Increasing the distance increases the force.
D. Increasing the distance decreases the force.



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Gravitational force increases as the distance between objects decreases based on Newton's law of universal gravitation.


Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, gravitational force and the distance between objects are related in the following way:

  1. Decreasing the distance increases the force.

This means that as the distance between two objects decreases, the gravitational force between them increases. This relationship is described by the inverse square law.
