Yes. The potential energy E= -mGM/r is transferred to mass m as mv2.
The orbit rate squared w2 = GM/r3.

Can gravitational potential energy be transferred between objects?
Yes. For example, this happens in a seesaw.
How does the gravitational force between 2 objects that have small masses compare to the gravitational force between large objects?
If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.
What two factors affect the gravitational force acting between two objects?
The masses of the two objects and the distance between the two objects affect the gravitational force between them.
When is the gravitational force zero?
When you don't have gravitational interaction between objects.
Is The gravitational force between two objects depends on the distance between the objects and each objects what?
Mass
The gravitational between two objects will increase if the?
The magnituide of the gravitational force between two objects will increase if -- the mass of one or both objects increases OR -- the distance between their centers-of-mass decreases.
How does mass of objects affect gravitational force between objects?
The gravitational force is directly proportional to each of the masses.
Is there more gravitational force between objects with small masses or objects with large masses?
Objects of greater mass have more gravitational pull.
Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?
Gravitational forces between objects depend only on their masses and the distance between them. Velocity has no effect.
How does the gravitational force between two objects that are close together compared to the gravitational force between two objects as they move farther apart?
As the objects move farther apart, the gravitational force between them decreases. Every time the distance between them doubles, the force between them drops 75%.
