Answer:
Option B. The force would be quartered (factor of 1/4).
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects can be expressed with the equation:
By analyzing the equation, we can see that if we multiply both m1 and m2 by 1/2, the resulting new F would be lower by a factor of 1/4 (as 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4).
Thus the correct answer is option B.
