Answer:

The gravitational force of an object that has half the mass is C) 9G.

Explanation:

Newton's Law of Gravitation:

  • [tex]\displaystyle F_g=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}[/tex]

We can see that the gravitational force, [tex]F_g[/tex], and mass (let's combine M * m into just "m"), [tex]m[/tex], are directly proportional to each other.

This means that if [tex]F_g[/tex] increases, [tex]m[/tex] also increases.

Therefore, if the mass is halved, that means that the gravitational force is also going to be halved.

The answer is 18G / 2 = 9G, which corresponds to answer C) 9G.
