If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?
A. The gravitational force would increase.
B. The gravitational force would decrease.
C. The gravitational force would remain the same.
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids. As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.
