In classical physics, the force of gravity between two objects is given by the following equation:
F = G(Mm/(r^2))
Where F is the force, G is a number called the Universal Gravitational Constant, M and m are the masses of the two objects, respectively, and r is the distance between them.
From this equation we see that F, the force is proportional to 1/(r^2). This is known as the inverse squares law. When objects are moved apart, the radius r increases and so the force of gravity decreases in accordance with the inverse square proportionality.
decrease, which is why it is possible to leave the planet. If gravity increased the further you got from another object, you would be weightless on the surface of the planet, and would need an infinite amount of energy to leave.
The gravity acting between two objects will decrease if those two objects are moved farther apart. Gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between objects. More distance between objects equates to less force acting between them. Lastly, the force of gravity between two objects is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between them.
When objects are moved further apart from each other, the force of gravity between them decreases.
If the distance between the objects increases, the force of gravity will decrease.
" ... decreases." Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
As distance increases, the force of gravity decreases.
The gravitational force will get less if you move the objects further apart.
Their masses and the distance apart
If the distance between the objects increases, the force of gravity will decrease.
" ... decreases." Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
As distance increases, the force of gravity decreases.
The force of gravity is determined by the masses of the objects and their distance apart.
The gravitational force will get less if you move the objects further apart.
.. have smaller masses and/or are farther apart.
Their masses and the distance apart
It decreases.
Yes, and it can be weaker if one or both objects have smaller masses. :)
The more massive the mass, the larger the force of gravity The further the distance, the smaller the force of gravity, however gravity is infinite so no matter how far away from any size mass an object is it will always feel the force of gravity from that mass
No, gravity only pulls them together in the case of two objects. But, with three, gravity can launch one object away from the orbit of the other two. Therefore we can infer that gravity is dependant on the characteristics of the "reaction" not the individual "reactants".
the force of gravity depends on the product of the masses of the objects divided by the square of the distance between the objects. example: if two objects are moved twice as far apart, the gravitational attraction between them will decrease by 2 times 2(a factor of 4)
