How can the mass and distance increase or desrease the gravitational force?
More mass --> more gravitational force Greater distance --> less gravitational force
How is mass and distance related to the strength of gravitational force?
The gravitation attraction force between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their separation distance.
Gravitational force to distance and mass?
The greater the mass the more gravitational force an object has, the greater distance, say from the ground the greater potential energy, the greater gravitational force. hope that helps :]
Will more massive objects attract each other with a greater gravitational force or a smaller gravitational force?
The more massive the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The gravitational force is affected by mass and distance. The closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force also.
What two things determine the size of a gravitational force?
Mass and distance. Greater the mass the more force the closer the distance the more force as well
What is gravirtitional force?
Gravitational force is a force that acts between any objects that have mass. It is proportional to both masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In other words, greater mass means more gravitational force, greater distance means less gravitational force.
What effect does the distance cause on the gravitational force?
since gravitational force is inversely propostional to the sq. Root of distance between them. When distance increases the gravitational force decreasses and it is vice versa.
How does distance affect the gravitational force between to objects?
Distance decreases the gravitational force, F=k/r2.
If the distance between two objects is increase the gravitational force will?
the gravitational force will decrease
What happend to the gravitational force between two objects if the distance between them is decreased?
The gravitational force that one object exerts on another will decrease in magnitude. In the formula for gravitational force, the force is inversely proportional to the square of distance. This means that reducing the distance between the objects will increase the magnitude of gravitational force.
Is the moons or the earths gravitational force stronger or weaker?
The Earth's gravitation force is greater than the Moon, which keeps the Moon in orbit round the Earth.
What happens between two gravational object increases?
When what increases? - The gravitational force depends on the masses involved, and on the distance. More mass --> more force. Greater distance --> less force.
