Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The universal law of gravitation states that the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. Therefore, if you double the mass of both objects, the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4 (2 * 2 = 4).

According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, If You Double
