Wrong. When the mass of either or both objects increases, then

the forces of gravitational attraction between them also increase.

What has more effect on gravitational force mass or distance?

mass. if you weigh enough, you could defy gravity and walk normally like you do on earth on the moon or something. that's just one theory. hope this helped im probably not right so i wouldn't trust this!! i just felt like helping. elisabeth miryndeh jonsoe


What would happen if the gravitational force was eliminated between the earth and sun?

The earth's constant orbit around the sun is caused by an equilibrium between two forces - the gravitational pull of the sun, and the earth's velocity acting at a right angle to it. If that gravitational pull was suddenly eliminated, the earth would continue onwards in a straight line.


How can planets weight something if space is weightless?

=There is no weight in space is because Weight is how hard things (floor, ground, etc.) push up on us. Note, I said up and not down. The downward force is the gravitational force. The gravitational force depends on mass (the amount of material you are made of) and the gravitational field intensity. If the gravitational field intensity is lower, as it is on the moon, the gravitational force is lower for the same mass. ecause there is no gravity.=


Why isn't time a variable that affects the amount of gravitational force between two objects in space?

To calculate the gravitational force between two objects, all you need is the mass of those two objects, and the distance between their gravitational centers. If You know that, you can calculate the magnitude of the force, and it doesn´t matter if that situation occurs right now, in 2 days, or in 1357. If you want anything to change (force magnitude, distance or whatever you want), of course, you need time, but you cannot make any statements about a physical situation if you only know the time, or how much time has passed.


What are the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man who weighs 700N at the surface of the earth?

Oh, dude, the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on that 700N man is 700N (shocking, right?). And the direction? Well, it's pulling him straight down towards the center of the Earth like a magnet to a fridge. So, yeah, gravity's got him in its grip, just like that last piece of pizza you can't resist.

Electronegativity increases from left to right and _ bottom on the periodic table from top to?

Electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom on the periodic table.


When moving left to right across the periodic table the atomic number increases and the atomic radius?

The atomic radius decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom


What Decreases left to right across a period?

Your question is incorrect. It should be increases rather than decreases. Well it is the proton number (Z) that increases.


What happens to the reactivity of a nonmetal when you move from left to right in a group?

The reactivity of a non metal decreases as you move down a group. This is because the size of the atomic radius increases and when the distance to the nucleus increases, the force of attraction decreases. Electrons are not pulled as strongly to larger atoms, and so larger atoms are not as reactive.


Metal reactivity increases from left to right in the periodic table?

No it decreases.


As you go from left to right across a period the first ionization energy generally decreases or increases?

increases.


Does electronegativity increases or decreases as you move left to right across a period on the periodic table?

Electronegativity generally increases as you move left to right across a period on the periodic table. This is because the effective nuclear charge increases, pulling electrons closer to the nucleus and making it easier for the atom to attract electrons.


Does electropositivity increases or decreases as you move left to right across a period on the periodic table?

Electropositivity decreases along a period. The metallic character also decreases.


What are the elecronegativity trends seen in the periodic table?

On the Periodic Table of elements, electronegativity increases as you move left to right across a period.


How does a Muslim confirm their eman?

eman increases and decreases increases by doing right things and stop doing bad things and decreases by doing bad things and stop doing good things


Why hydration energy decreases from top to bottom in group 1-a and increases from left to right in a period?

Hydration Energy Increases Significantly By Moving From Left To Right In A Period As The Charge To Size Ratio Increases.
