Explain how mass and distance affect gravity.

Answer 1

mass is the measure of the account of matter in an object we see that the gravitational force between objects increases as the masses of of the object increases .With distance we see that the strength of gravity decreases if the distance between two object increases .

Here is your answer

Answer 2

Gravity

According to the universal law of gravitation,

$\sf F = \dfrac{GM_E m}{r^2}$

From the above relation,we can conclude :

• $\sf F \propto m$

• $\sf F \propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}$

Here,

The gravitational constant and Mass of Earth are constant

Mass

• Gravity is directly proportional to mass of the particle. If the mass is increased,so will the magnitude of the gravitational force. If the mass is doubled,the gravity will also be doubled

Distance of Seperation

• Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of separation between the particles. If the seperation is increased is doubled ,the gravitational force would decrease by 4 times

• Closer the objects, stronger the gravity

• Farther the objects, weaker the gravity
