In general gravity is an attractive force. There are some subtleties in general relativity however that might give the appearance of a repulsive force, but for almost all intents and purposes gravity is an attractive force.

Can planets repel each other along with attraction?

Gravity is a force of attraction only. Newton's law describes only an inverse square attraction, which is different than the inverse square law of electric charge which allows both attraction and repulsion. Within the theory of general relativity, gravity has a different interpretation as curvature of space-time, but that is not essential to the present question.


Is there more forces other then gravity?

-- Gravity ... attraction between any two masses-- Magnetic force ... attraction or repulsion between a magnet and magnetic materials,or between conductors carrying electric current-- Electrostatic force ... attraction or repulsion between electric charges, like theballoon and the wall, the comb and the bits of tissue, the socks and the shirtsin the dryer, etc.-- Strong nuclear force ... attraction between particles in the nucleus of the atom;only works over very short distances ... like inside the nucleus of an atom.


What will happen to the force of gravity if the mass of one of the objects is tripled?

You didn't specify what force. some forces have an inverse-square relationship. That is to say, the force of gravity, or electrostatic attraction or repulsion, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance - if the distance is tripled, the force is reduced by a factor of 9.You didn't specify what force. some forces have an inverse-square relationship.
