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.

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.
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.
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 are two factors that effect the gravitational force between two objects?
Mass and distance.
What effect would increasing the mass of two object have on gravitational attraction between them?
the gravitational attraction would increase, because the more mass something has the more gravitational pull it has.

The effect of dubling the massesa and halving the distance is to increase the gravitational force by a factor of 16.
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.
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 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.
Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?
Gravitational forces between objects depend only on their masses and the distance between them. Velocity has no effect.
What are two factors that effect the gravitational force between two objects?
Mass and distance.
How does distance between two objects affect the way they move?
If the objects are not tied together, and if the gravitational forces between them are negligible in their current environment, then the distance between them has no effect whatsoever on their motion.
What effect would increasing the mass of two object have on gravitational attraction between them?
the gravitational attraction would increase, because the more mass something has the more gravitational pull it has.
What arethe factors that effect the gravitational force between two objects?
-- the masses of both objects -- the distance between their centers
If the distance between the star an planet were 3 times as great what effect would this have on heir gravitational attraction for eachothe?
If the distance between two masses is tripled, then the gravitational force between them becomes (1/32) = 1/9th as great as it started out.
How does distance affect gravity?
Gravitational forces are inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the gravitating bodies.
Mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects true or false?
This is false. The answer is that mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects. Air resistance has no effect on this.
