The strength of the force of Gravity depends on the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force and the distance between the two objects. Gravity is the inverse of the square of the distance between the two objects, times the two masses.

F = (G * m1 * m2)/(r squared)

G is the universal gravitational constant

G = 6.6726 x 10

The force of gravity depends on?

Gravitational force depends on distance and mass. Thus, the formula for calculating gravitational force between 2 objects with a given distance: G[(mass 1)(mass 2)]/distance squared. G is universal gravitational constant: 6.67x10 raised to -11 power. Sorry if it's a little confusing to read...since I can't do basic math operations here.

What force combats gravity?

Controlled Chaos. To oppose gravity is to create an anti gravity apparatus. Obviously, absence of gravity will lead to objects approaching the heavens(since no force to ground them to surface), thus, if gravity is viewed in form of magnetic fields, an 'unlike' pole will cause a 'like' pole to repel, thus creating an anti field force between the magnets. For gravity, should you find the answer i'd suggest getting a patent to a hover board


The force of gravity opposes what other force?

The force of gravity opposes acceleration away from the source of the gravity. This is expressed as "centrifugal force" or the perpendicular component of a tangential velocity. The balance between these keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.


What force is counteracting the attractive force of gravity on the pieces of paper?

This depends on what the pieces of paper are up to. - If the pieces of paper are at rest on a surface, the normal (perpendicular) force of that surface is counteracting the attractive force of gravity. - If the pieces of paper are in the air, some aerodynamic forces are counteracting the attractive force of gravity, but only the component of the aerodynamic forces that is directed in the opposite direction of gravity. (That is, if you throw the pieces of paper UP in the air aerodynamics and gravity will do work in the same direction, and no force will counteract gravity.) This system is not in equillibrium and the pieces of paper will sooner or later fall to the ground. - It should be possible to counteract the attracting force of gravity by giving the pieces of paper an electrostatic charge and holding an object of opposite charge above them. This can be done by rubbing the pieces of paper against an inflated rubber balloon, the papers will stick to the balloon. Note that for this to work, something will have to counteract the force of gravity on the balloon. This can be done by suspending it from the roof or holding it in your hand. Something would then have to counteract the attractive force of gravity on the roof (the walls) or you (whatever you are standing on)... and so on ad infinitum...

What does the force of gravity between two objects depends on?

The force of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The greater the mass of the objects and the closer they are, the stronger the force of gravity between them.


Is force of friction correlated to force of gravity?

It depends. Two surfaces which are pressed together will show a frictional force resisting any sliding. If they are pressed together by gravity (e.g. such as for a book lying on a table), then the frictional force resisting a horizontal push will depend on the weight of the book, which depends on the force of gravity.


Force of gravity pulling on a mass?

The force of gravity pulling on a mass depends on the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. The force can be calculated using the formula: force = mass x gravity. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.


What is the difference between the greater force and a weaker force?

its gravity because it depends on how close of far apart gravity is between the object


What force causes an object to have weight?

Gravity is the force that causes an object to have weight. The weight of an object is the gravitational force acting on it. The magnitude of the weight depends on the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity at that location.


Is gravity a magnetic force?

No. Magnetism and gravity are quite different forces. For starters, gravity acts on all masses, and the amount of force depends only on the masses and the distance - and it is always attractive. The magnetic force depends on the material, and it can be both attractive and repulsive, depending on the orientation.No. Magnetism and gravity are quite different forces.

What is the force of gravity made of?

The force of gravity isn't made of anything. It's caused by masses, like Earth and other planets. The force of gravity depends on the distance between two objects and their masses.
