It attracts the spheres toward each other. They may or may not move,

depending on what other forces act on them at the same time.

Why does earth exert a greater gravitational force on you than other objects do?

Earth exerts a greater gravitational force on you than other objects do because of its massive size and proximity to you. The force of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them, so Earth's larger mass and closer proximity result in a stronger gravitational pull on you.


What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. This means that the greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them.


Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?

Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.


Does the increase between two objects increase or decrease the gravitational force between them?

At a greater distance, the gravitational force becomes less.


What are the causes by of gravity that produced gravitational force attraction of mass of celestial body?

Gravity is caused by the curvature of spacetime around massive objects. This curvature creates a gravitational force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational force will be.

Will more massive objects attract each other with a greater gravitational force or a smaller gravitational force?

The more massive the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The gravitational force is affected by mass and distance. The closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force also.


What force would pull two spheres together?

They are being pulled by the force of gravity


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.


The gravitational force between two metal spheres in outer space is 2000 N How large would the force be if the?

force was 4 times as large as it is now?


The gravitational force between 2 metal spheres in outer space is 2000 newtons How large would the factor be if the 2 spheres were 4 times as far apart?

F is inversely proportional to r*r . therefore the force will be reduced by the factor of 16th. hence the gravitational force will be 125N.


What do massive objects exert?

Massive objects exert gravitational force. This force attracts other objects with mass towards them. The magnitude of the force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.


Why is the sun the only gravitational force?

The sun is not the only gravitational force but it is the strongest, the earth has a gravitational force, the moon has a gravitational force etc. Any two objects have a gravitational force between them that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


How does mass effect gravitational force?

There is no such thing as gravitational force. Mass curves spacetime and stuff moves through spacetime in straight spacetime paths. The effect of this is what we call gravity. The more the mass the greater the curvature of spacetime.


Does the force of gravity increase decrease or stay the same if the object it is acting on is more massive?

If the product of the two masses increases, then the gravitational force in both directions between them increases.


Explain how mass and the distance of an object from other objects affect its gravitational force?

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the mass of the objects. The greater the mass of the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them. Additionally, the gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. As the distance between objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.


The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is?

The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is the gravitational field. This field is responsible for exerting a force on any other object within its influence, causing it to experience gravitational acceleration towards the massive object.


How does mass affect the magnitude of gravitational force?

The magnitude of gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. This means that as the mass of one or both objects increases, the magnitude of the gravitational force between them also increases. In simpler terms, the more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull.
