Two planets are in a circular orbit around the same star in a distant galaxy. Planet A has half the mass of planet B. The distance between the center of planet A and the center of the star is half the distance between the center of planet B and the center of the star. Given that the magnitude of the gravitational force that the star exerts on planet A is X, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force that the star exerts on planet B? X/4 4X 2X X/2 X
