The rule is that any object attracts any other object; the force is proportional to the product of the masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
As to the mechanism, Einstein's General Theory of Relativity says that masses distort space, and that this distortion is what causes the force.
On the other hand, it is believed that the gravitational force is transmitted via hypothetical partlcles called "gravitons". Hypothetical because they haven't been detected yet, but this is no surprise, as individual gravitons would be extremely weak and hard to detect.
What else can I help you with?
What is gravitational force and how does it work?
All things with a large mass such as the Earth have a gravitational force. Earth's gravity pulls down objects about 9.801 meters/sec.
What gravitational force exerts on an object?
Gravitational force exerts an attraction on objects.
Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?
Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.
How centripetal force equals to gravitational force?
The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. This means that the greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them.
Is the gravitational force is a conservative force?
Yes, gravitational force is a conservative force. This means that the work done by gravity does not depend on the path taken by an object, but only on the initial and final positions.
A cart gains energy as it rolls down hill what is the force that does the work?
Gravitational force.
What is gravitational force and how does it work?
All things with a large mass such as the Earth have a gravitational force. Earth's gravity pulls down objects about 9.801 meters/sec.
When a ball rises vertically to a height h and returns to its original point of projection the work done by the gravitational force is?
The work done would be calculated by 2mgh. The force on the ball is calculated by mg, and work done is by Fd, where d is 2h (the force acts on both upwards height and downwards height, thus twice the distance).
What is the law of gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational energy is the potential energy associated with gravitational force. If an object falls from one point to another point inside a gravitational field, the force of gravity will do positive work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will decrease by the same amount.
Why you do lose balance while ride the bicycle slow?
I believe when you ride cycle fast you ride it against the gravitational force but when you ride the cycle slow you don't have enough force to work against the gravitational force.
Does a vacuum space have gravitational force?
No, there is no mass there to have any gravitational force.
In which direction will the drag force act if the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force?
If the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force, the drag force will act in the opposite direction of the gravitational force.
How is weight affected by gravitational force?
how is weight affected by gravitational force?
When is gravitational force the strongest?
Gravitational force is the strongest when you are the closest to a mass.
What is gravity gravition gravitational force?

What gravitational force does Mars have?
Mars has a gravitational force of 3.7m/s2.
