When the distance between them was halved, the gravitation force would be stronger.
The gravitational force between two objects in the universe is determined using Coulomb's law which states that the force of attraction between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
[tex]F = \frac{Gm_1 m_2 }{R^2}[/tex]
where;
R is the distance between the two objects
when the distance is halved, the gravitational force becomes
[tex]F = \frac{Gm_1 m_2}{(\frac{1}{2} R)^2} \\\\F = \frac{Gm_1 m_2 }{\frac{1}{4} R^2} \\\\F = \frac{4Gm_1m_2}{R^2} \\\\F = 4 \times \frac{Gm_1 m_2 }{R^2}[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that when the distance between them was halved, the gravitation force would be stronger.
