Gravity has always been with us but the interaction of forces and masses was studied in the 17th century by Galileo among others, and then Isaac newton came along with his formula for the attraction between two masses M1 and M2 at distance R:
F = G M1 M2 / R2
He was able to prove that a force with that formula, acting between the Sun and a planet, would cause the planet to move in an elliptical orbit. Johannes Kepler had already calculated from observations that the planets do actually move in elliptical orbits, so those scientists hit the jackpot.
What else can I help you with?
Does a vacuum space have gravitational force?
No, there is no mass there to have any gravitational force.
In which direction will the drag force act if the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force?
If the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force, the drag force will act in the opposite direction of the gravitational force.
How is weight affected by gravitational force?
how is weight affected by gravitational force?
When is gravitational force the strongest?
Gravitational force is the strongest when you are the closest to a mass.

What gravitational force does Mars have?
Mars has a gravitational force of 3.7m/s2.
How can the mass and distance increase or desrease the gravitational force?
The gravitational force between two objects increases with their masses; the larger the masses, the stronger the force. Additionally, the gravitational force decreases with distance; the farther apart the objects are, the weaker the force between them.
How is gravitational force and mass related?
Gravitational force F = mass x g where g is the gravitational acceleration.
What gravitational force exerts on an object?
Gravitational force exerts an attraction on objects.
What changes with gravitational force?
Gravitational force changes with the mass of the objects and the distance between them. As mass increases, the gravitational force also increases. Similarly, as the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force decreases.
What universal force is the weakest electric gravitational or magnetic?
Gravitational force is the weakest universal force. It is significantly weaker than the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces.
Do Halley's comet have a gravitational force?
Yes, everything has a gravitational force, but the force of this differs from object to object.
