Gravitational Force

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses, proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers, described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force increases with the increase in mass of either object. If the mass of one or both objects increases, the gravitational force between them increases.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases. Specifically, it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

If the mass of Earth is increased by 10 times and the distance to the Moon is increased by 5 times, how does the gravitational force change?

Back

The gravitational force would increase.
