Gravitational force= G*m1*m2/r^2
G - universal gravitational constante
m1 - mass of object 1
m2 - mass of object 2
r - distance between the objects

What did netwon call the attraction between two objects such as the earth and an apple?
gravitational attraction.
Your weight is a force caused by?
The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.
What is the force with an object is pulled toward the earth do to gravity?
It is obviously a Gravitational force of attraction present between earth and object.
What is the force that holds objects to Earth's surface?
It's the mutual forces of gravitational attraction between the Earth and each object.
The force of attraction that the Earth exerts on all objects is called?
The answer is gravitational attraction. It is the attractive force between all objects that have mass. It's between you and me, you and your PC, and between everything.
Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes.
Does the gravitational attraction between earth and an asteroid decrease as the asteroid approaches earth?
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.
What did netwon call the attraction between two objects such as the earth and an apple?
gravitational attraction.
The gravitational attraction between an object and the earth?
is called its weight.
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
Tides on the Earth are primarily due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the Earth and?
Earth and the moon.
Why earth have its rotation?
because of gravitational force of attraction between the earth and other planets
Your weight is a force caused by?
The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.
What is the Name of the force of attraction between an object and earth?
gravitational force
What height beyond the earth surface the gravitational force of earth is inactive?
There is no distance from Earth where the force of gravitational attraction toward it is 'inactive'.The formula for the forces of gravity gives the magnitude of the force at any distance.Note: Any distance.
Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
Which force holds Earth in its orbit?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
