mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. gravitational force can be found using: , where G is gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of object 1 (in kg) m2 is the mass of object 2 (in kg) r is the distance between the objects (in meters)
The gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the objects: Between two 50 kg objects it is ten times stronger than between a 5 and a 50 kg object. The gravitational force is also dependent on the distance between the two masses. The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Therefore, the gravitational force between two 50Kg objects can be less than a 50Kg and a 5Kg object if the distance between the two 50Kg objects is greater than the distance between the 5Kg and 50Kg objects. See link for the equation to calculate the gravitational force.
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.
As mass increases, so does the gravitational pull from the object.
The larger the mass of either object, the greater the gravitational force.

Gravitational force depends on the masses of both objects and the distance between them. The formula is Gravitational Force = 6.67428 * 10^-11 * Mass of First Object * Mass of Second Object / Distance^2.
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.
As mass increases, so does the gravitational pull from the object.
The larger the mass of either object, the greater the gravitational force.
Move the objects closer together.
It is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centres of mass of the objects.
Assuming by "the force acting on an object" you mean the cause of its acceleration, its acceleration will be doubled. If there is more than one force acting on it, the vector of the force will have to be analyzed by its effect on each of the other forces.
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on the product of their individual masses, and on the distance between their centers of mass. It's a bit sloppy to talk about one object's gravitational force on another object, because the forces are equal in both directions ... both objects pull each other with equal force.
The strength of the gravitational force of attraction between two objects is proportional to both masses.
