There are two such forces:
1) The electrical force occurs between two charged objects. When this force occurs between to point like objects, the following equation holds:
F=Kq1q2/d^2, where
F is the electric force
K is a constant = 8.988*10^9
q1 is the charge of one object
q2 is the charge of the second object
d is the distance between the objects
2) The gravitational force occurs between two masses. If these two objects are point like the following equation holds:
F=Gmm/d^2, where
F is the gravitational force
G is a constant = 6.673*10^-11
m1 is the mass of one object
m2 is the mass of the second object
d is the distance between the objects
you may notice two things about these fundamental forces:
1) The electrical force is much stronger that the gravitational force. This is why the force of gravity is neglected when dealing with electric forces between subatomic particles, ions, and molecules.
2) These two forces are very analogous. both forces are proportional to the product of a property of two objects (mass or charge) and to the inverse of the square of the distance between those particles.

What is a force of attraction between 2 objects called?
The force of gravitational attraction between two objects is equal to the universal gravitational constant times by the mass of one object times by the mass of the other, all divided by the distance between them squared, or: force = (universal gravitational constant x mass 1 x mass 2)/distance2 or: F = (GMm)/r2
Under what conditions gravity between two objects increase?
when the mass of either object increases, or the distance between their centers decreases. It is the attractive force that is affected by the mass of each object or the distance between them. Even though it cannot be proved from 1st principles, the attractive force relationship between the 2 objects is given by (m=mass, d=distance): m1 x m2 --------- d2 Thus, the attractive force increases when either m1 or m2 increases. This force also increases very much (as the square) when the distance decreases.
What are 2 things that the amount of gravitational force between 2 objects depend on?
The amount of gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The force increases with the mass of the objects and decreases as the distance between them increases.
What force is the force between charged objects?
Its called electro-static force. It is inversely proportional to the distance between the 2 objects squared.
How can you find the force between objects that are any distnace apart?
You can find the force between objects that are any distance apart by using the formula for the gravitational force, which is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between their centers. This formula describes the attractive force between any two objects in the universe.
What is the force between charged objects called?
electrostatic attraction or electrostatic repulsion. attraction occurs between oppositely charged objects (one positive and one negative), repulsion occurs between objects with the same charge (two positive objects, or two negative objects).
What 2 things determine the force of gravity between 2 objects?
The force of gravity between two objects is determined by their masses and the distance between their centers. The larger the masses of the objects and the smaller the distance between them, the greater the force of gravity.
What 2 factors determine the force of gravity between objects?
The force of gravity between objects is determined by their masses and the distance between them. The greater the masses of the objects, the stronger the gravitational force, while the larger the distance between them, the weaker the force.
What is the attractive force that all objects exert on one another?
There are four fundamental forces in our universe that dictate how matter and energy interact. One of the forces, gravity, causes anything with mass, i.e. anything made of atoms, to attract other massive objects. Gravity is the weakest of the four forces and is one of the most difficult to explain.
What would happen to the force of gravity between 2 objects if their masses remained constant but their distance between them decreased?
The force of gravity between two objects will increase if their distances decrease. The force of gravity or proportional to the objects' masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What 2 factors affect the amount of force between 2 charged objects?
The amount of force between two charged objects is influenced by the magnitude of the charges on the objects and the distance between them. Increasing the charge of the objects or decreasing the distance between them will result in a stronger force of attraction or repulsion.
How does the gravitational force between 2 objects that have small masses compare to the gravitational force between large objects?
If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.
