If 2 objects are moved 5 times farther apart, the gravitational attraction will be ? times weaker.

How many times weaker will it be?-Gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance. Move objects so they are 2 times farther apart, gravity between them is 2 squared (2 x 2, or 4) times le
