AP Physics 1
2.6 Gravitational Force
Two spherical moons, Moon X and Moon Y, are separated by a center-to-center distance \(D\). Moon X has mass \(M_X\) and Moon Y has mass \(M_Y\). The magnitude of the gravitational force that Moon X exerts on Moon Y is \(F_0\). If a cosmic event causes the mass of Moon X to double and the distance between the centers of the two moons to also double, what is the new magnitude of the gravitational force that Moon X exerts on Moon Y?
