The correct option.
Answer to Problem 8STP
The correct option is B.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Gravitational force between the object is depend on the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.
Gravitational attraction between the objects is given by the following formula.
Here,
Gravitational force is directly related to the mass of the objects and inversely related to the distance between them.
So, the gravitational force is decreases when two objects move farther apart.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is B.
