Respuesta

The gravitational force between the objects at the same distance when the mass of each object is doubled is 400 N.

Explicación

## Step 1The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula:### where is the gravitational force, is the gravitational constant, and are the masses of the two objects, and is the distance between the two objects.## Step 2According to the problem, the mass of each object is doubled. This means that the new masses of the two objects are and .## Step 3Substitute the new masses into the formula to find the new gravitational force:### ## Step 4The original gravitational force is given as 100 N. Therefore, the new gravitational force is 4 times the original force, which is .
