How does the force of gravity pulling on the rocket change as the distance between it and the planet increases?

Gravity doesn't change, no matter where you are.
One of the characteristics of the forces due to gravity is that they're inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between the two masses involved.
So as your distance from a planet changes, the mutual forces attracting you
and the planet toward each other change in inverse proportion to the square
of the distance between you and the center of the planet.

∙ 11y agoThe force of gravity will decrease with distance, according to the general law of gravitation. Specifically, gravity will be inversely proportional to the square of the rocket's distance from the Earth's center.

the mutual forces of gravity between the rocket and the Earth become.

What is the force between an object and earth's gravity pulling on it?
Gravitational force.
Is gravity a pushing or pulling force?
The forces of gravity between every two objects attract the objects toward each other. So I guess you'd call that a 'pulling force'.
When tossing a coin upwards what happens to its velocity while ascending what happens to its acceleration?
Its velocity decreases because gravity is pulling on it as it goes up. Its acceleration increases.
What is the difference between gravity and magnatism?
Gravity is the force pulling objects down to the ground and magnetism is a force that pulls things with the opposite pull towards itself.
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down
How does the force of gravity pulling on the rocket changes as the distance between it and the plant increases?
The force is given by Newton's formula for gravitation. As the distance increases, the force decreases.
When you are pulling a heavy load or trailer the extra weight increases your stopping distance.?
Yes
How do you call the pulling force between the moon and the tides?
gravity
What is the force between an object and earth's gravity pulling on it?
Gravitational force.
Does gravitational force become greater or less when planets get closer to the sun?
Nothing happens to gravity. It always works according to the same exact formula,regardless of how far apart or close together the objects are.According to that formula, we can see that when the objects are closer together,the gravitational force between them becomes greater.
Is gravity a pushing or pulling force?
The forces of gravity between every two objects attract the objects toward each other. So I guess you'd call that a 'pulling force'.
Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?
The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.
What is the pulling fource between 2 objects called?
I think it has something to do with the gravity of the two objects.
What is the reaction force if Sun's gravity pulling on Earth is the action force?
Earth's gravity pulling on the Sun.
What does pressure do to blood backed up from heart failure?
This increases pressure in the veins leading to the heart, particularly below it where gravity is also pulling blood down.
When tossing a coin upwards what happens to its velocity while ascending what happens to its acceleration?
Its velocity decreases because gravity is pulling on it as it goes up. Its acceleration increases.
When gravity is pulling on something does the something have kinetic energy?
The object can be stationary and have gravity pulling on it ergo no kinetic energy
