Question: Two 1-kg point masses a distance d apart each exert a gravitational attraction F on the other one. If 1 kg is now added to each mass, the gravitational attraction exerted by each will be

4f

Explanation:  a gravitational force is propotional to a square of distance between two point masses so we separate the masses to a distance

We know that the gravitational force is proportional to (m₁) · (m₂).

Now we want to know the force between (2·m₁) · (2·m₂).

Well, that's just the same as (2·2) · (m₁)·(m₂), which is  4 · (m₁)·(m₂) ... four times the original force.

So in this question, the new pair of gravitational forces will be 4·F in each direction.

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
