  • Newton's Law: How Mass Changes Gravitational Force
    The force increases by four times if each mass is doubled.

    Here's why:

    * Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: The force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

    * Formula: F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²

    * F = Force of gravity

    * G = Gravitational constant

    * m1 = Mass of object 1

    * m2 = Mass of object 2

    * r = Distance between the centers of the objects

    * Doubling the Masses: If you double both m1 and m2, the product (m1 * m2) becomes four times larger. Since the force is directly proportional to this product, the force also increases by a factor of four.

    Example:

    Let's say you have two objects with masses of 1 kg each. If you double their masses to 2 kg each, the force of gravity between them will quadruple.
