What happens to the force of gravity between two objects when the mass of one of the objects is increased?

Force of gravity, Fg, is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two interacting objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Fg = Gm1m2/r2 Therefore, when either of the masses increase, Fg increases proportionally.

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe (magnitude of) force of gravity depends on:
# The mass/size of the two objects in question # The distance between the two objects' centre of masses
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoIt increases when the distance decreases, or when the masses involved increase.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoIt increases when:
- the mass of either (or both) object is icreased, or
- the distance between their centres of mass is reduced.

The force of gravity is greater between two objects that?
That have greater mass.
What happens when area of contact is increased?
When area of contact increases between two objects, then the pressure applied decreases. Here is the formula: Pressure(Pascals)=Force(newtons)/area(metre2)
The strenght of the force of gravity depends on?
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 -11 N-m 2 /kg 2
What affect would decreasing the distance between objects have on their gravitational attraction to each other?
Decreasing the distance between two objects will increase the force of gravity. Gravity is proportional to the mass of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Gravity depends on how far -------- andhow -------- the objects are?
Gravity can depend on how far apart and how heavy the objects are.
How can the force of gravity be increased between two objects?
The close objects are the more gravity there will be between them.
What happens to the gravity as the distance between the objects is increased?
The size of the force decreases. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
What happen to the force of gravity between two objects when the mass of one of the objects is increased?
Force of gravity also increases proportionally.
What happens to force of gravity when the distance between two objects decreases?
As the distance between two objects decreases (i.e. they get closer together), the force of gravity increases.
What would happen to he force of attraction between 2 objects if the distance between them were increased by a factor of 10?
Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between two objects, therefore if the distance was increased by a factor of ten, the gravity would decrease by a factor of one hundred.
What happens if the force of gravity changed if the distance between the objects decreased?
Dylan is a nerd
What happens to the strength of gravity when the distance is doubled?
When the distance between the centers of two objects is doubled, the gravitational forces between the objects are reduced by 75% .
What happens to gravity when one object is larger than the other?
The force of gravity between two objects depends on the product of the two masses and the distance between them. The force has nothing to do with how similar or different the objects are.
When space objects move farther apart what happens to the gravity between them?
Theoreticly, it gets weaker.
Do gravity change with mass of objects?
No. Gravity always behaves predictably, according to the same formula,no matter what happens to the mass of objects.However, the forces that gravity creates between objects do depend onthe masses of the objects, and if the mass of either object changes, thenthe forces between them change.
What happens to the gravitational force between objects of the mass either or both objects increased?
Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses. So as mass is increased then force too increases
What does gravity depend on between objects?
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.
