Why is the force of attraction between the two 1 kg objects so much smaller than the 20-newton force between a 2 kg object and earth?

Because the magnitude of the mutual gravitational force is proportional to the
product of both masses, so it makes sense that when one of the masses is the
whole Earth, you'd expect the force to be greater than when it's anything else
on Earth.

As the distance between two masses increase the gravitational force of attraction between them?
F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2 F = the force of attraction between two objects of masses m1 and m2, of a distance, r, apart G = the universal gravitational constant. So when r doubles, F will become 4 times smaller.
If mass stays the same and distance increases then the force of gravity between the two objects do what?
The force of gravity between the two objects will grow smaller and smaller, but will never entirely disappear.
How would the force of gravity change if between two objects if the mass of one object increased?
Increasing the mass of either object increases the mutual gravitational forceof attraction between them. Increasing both of their masses like really reallyincreases the force.
Do bigger or smaller objects travel further when fired from a catapult?
Answer #1:smaller===================Answer #2:Bigger.
The forces of attraction between two objects varies with what two factors?
Mass and Distance
Two forces act a an angle of 120degree .one force is of 40newton .the resultant force makes an angle of 90degree with smaller .one find the smaller force?
answer is 20newton
How do mass and distance affect attraction between objects?
Well, the equation for calculating the gravitational force between two objects is Fg= GMm/r2. So, G is the universal gravitation constant. Uppercase M is the larger mass and lowercase m is the smaller mass of the two. R is the distance between the centre of the two masses assuming they are spherical masses. So, to answer your question, the mass and distance directly affects the gravitational attraction of two objects. The greater the mass and the less distance, the greater the gravitational attraction. When distance is increased between two objects, the gravitational attraction decreases. This goes the same for mass.
The smaller the distance between the objects the stronger?
... the gravitational force between them, and the electrical force if the objects are charged.

Does the pull of earth's gravity get weaker the farther away you are from Earth?
Yes. The force of attraction between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of separation between the objects. That's why if we move away from the Earth (or any stellar object), the pull of gravity gets weaker. You could also say that the farther you are from another mass, the smaller your *mutual* attraction by gravity, since all objects attract all other objects. It is only in asteroids, moons, planets, and stars that we begin to see it as an appreciable force.

As the distance between a nucleus and an orbital electron increases the electrical force of?
Attraction gets smaller.
When an objects distance from another objects is changing it is?
Several things happen in this case; for example:* From each of the objects, the other object will look smaller * Things like gravitational attraction, tidal forces, electrical force, and magnetic force will be reduced.
If the smaller the distance between charged objects what happens?
the stronger the electric force
Why do you orbit the sun and not other stars?
It is because the gravity off the stars is smaller with us because they are much further. You can tell if you look at the universal gravitational equation.F = GMm/R2whereF is the force of attraction between two objects in newtons (N)G is the universal gravitational constant in N-m2/kg2M and m are the masses of the two objects in kilograms (kg)R is the distance in meters (m) between the objects, as measured from their centers of mass
The force of gravity is less between two objects that what?
.. have smaller masses and/or are farther apart.
