Gravity between to bodies falls off with the square of the distance. In other words the gravity falls by a factor of 4 if the distance is doubled or by a factor of 9 if trebled and so on. The formula for gravity = G x m1 x m2 /r2 where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the masses of the bodies and r the distance between them.

Which factor has a greater overall effect of the gravitational force is it mass or distance?
Distance.
How do mass and distance effect gravitational force?
The gravitational force is equal to mass1 x mass2 / (the square of the distance); all this must be multiplied with a constant, known as the gravitational constant.
When the masses are doubled and separation is halved what effect do they have on the gravitational force between the masses?
The effect of dubling the massesa and halving the distance is to increase the gravitational force by a factor of 16.
What would be the effect on the gravitational force if you increase mass and increase the distance between the masses?
If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.
What are two factors that effect the gravitational force between two objects?
Mass and distance.
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.
Which factor has a greater overall effect of the gravitational force is it mass or distance?
Distance.
How do mass and distance effect gravitational force?
The gravitational force is equal to mass1 x mass2 / (the square of the distance); all this must be multiplied with a constant, known as the gravitational constant.
Why gravitational force increases when you fly with supersonic speed?
Gravitational force depends only on an object's mass and its distance from the center of the earth. Its speed has no effect on the gravitational force.
When the masses are doubled and separation is halved what effect do they have on the gravitational force between the masses?
The effect of dubling the massesa and halving the distance is to increase the gravitational force by a factor of 16.
What would be the effect on the gravitational force if you increase mass and increase the distance between the masses?
If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.
How does distance effect gravitational force?
G=m1*m2/d^2
What are two factors that effect the gravitational force between two objects?
Mass and distance.
Is it more distance more gravitational force?
Gravitational force decreases as the square of the distance.
How can the mass and distance increase or desrease the gravitational force?
More mass --> more gravitational force Greater distance --> less gravitational force
How do mass and distance effect the force of gravity?
gravitational force is directly proportional to mass ie it increases with the increase in mass. it is indirectly proportional to distance ie it decreases with the increase in distance.
What effect does distance have on magnetic field strength?
It follows an inverse square law, analogous to both the electrostatic force and gravitational force.
