Question

Difference between Gravitational force and elastic force

Answer 1

Gravitational forces vary with the inverse square of the distance X:Fg =G*M*m/x2

An elastic force varies directly with the first power of the extension X: Fe =k*x

Answer 2

The main difference between gravitational force and elastic force is that origin of gravitational force is gravitational potential energy acting between two massive bodies.Whereas the origin of elastic force is electrostatic force between molecules that make up a material
