The gravitational force will be one quarter.

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=GMm/r^2

here, r is the distance between the objects.

Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.

When the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is four times as much. the same. twice as much. one-quarter. half?
