Why is gravitational force called a mutual force?
"Mutual" means that both objects in question are responsible for the force. The earth is attracted to you just as much as you are attracted to the earth. You mutually attract.
Energy stored by things attracted to each other by the force of gravity is what type of potential energy?
Gravitational
Can gravity be blocked?
No. There is no gravity 'insulator'. If you tried to build a wall between you and the Earth to block the Earth's gravity from reaching you, it would not only have no effect on the Earth's gravity reaching you, but the gravitational force on you would be even stronger, because you would also be attracted to the mass of the wall. Every two masses are gravitationally attracted toward each other, and that's all there is to it. It makes no difference what's in between them.
Difference between gravitational force and force of gravity?
force of gravity is d gravitational force of earth but gravitational force is force of attraction for any heavenly body
The gravitational force?
the force that attracts two matters is called gravitational force.
What attracted force between two objects?
Gravitational force.
Does gravitational force occur when a paperclip is attracted by a magnet on a ramp?
yes
Why is more space dust attracted to the sun than to earth?
gravitational force

Can you create gravitational force?
Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses. It can be explained by Force=(Mass1*Mass2)/Distance. Everything is attracted to the earth because the earth has such a large mass. So on a small scale it is just about impossible to create gravitational force.
If a person is attracted to the center of the earth by N gravitational force the force of attraction of the earth toward a person is?
9.8 or 10 Newtons to be exact. The gravitational force stays the same as long as you are on earth.
Energy stored by things attracted to each other by the force of gravity is what type of potential energy?

What is the gravitational force of the sun?
That's going to depend on the mass of the sun, the mass of the object being attracted by the sun AND the distance between them. (Just like the gravitational force of the Earth. It depends on the mass of the person being attracted to it. That's why different people weigh different amounts.)
This is a force where objects are attracted or repelled to one another?
Gravitational force exists between masses. Gravitational force is only of attractive. No repulsive gravitational force has been found so far. But in electrostatics and magnetism, the force between electric charges and magnetic poles respectively are of both repulsive and attractive. Nuclear force between the nucleons within the nucleus of the atom is also attractive in nature.
Can gravity be blocked?
No. There is no gravity 'insulator'. If you tried to build a wall between you and the Earth to block the Earth's gravity from reaching you, it would not only have no effect on the Earth's gravity reaching you, but the gravitational force on you would be even stronger, because you would also be attracted to the mass of the wall. Every two masses are gravitationally attracted toward each other, and that's all there is to it. It makes no difference what's in between them.
Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?
Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.
