According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, what would cause the force of attraction between a planet and the Sun to be doubled is: A. Doubling the mass of the planet.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that the force of attraction (gravitational force) acting between planet Earth and all physical objects is directly proportional to the mass of planet Earth, directly proportional to the mass of the physical object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the Earth's center and that of the physical object.

Mathematically, Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is given by the formula:

[tex]F = G\frac{M_1M_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where:

  • F is the gravitational force.
  • g is the gravitational constant.
  • M is the masses of object.
  • r is the distance between centers of the masses.

Deductively, the force of attraction (gravitational force) acting between planet Earth is highly dependent on the mass of a physical object.

In conclusion, doubling the mass of the planet would cause the force of attraction between a planet and the Sun to be doubled.
