Question

How does the gravitational force of attraction between two masses depend on them?

Answer 1

It depends on distance (d) between them and product of their masses (m1m2)

It is directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to square of distance between them.

Gravitational force of attraction = F
F = Gm1m2/d²

Answer 2

The gravitational force of attraction between two masses depend on the distance between them because:—

1.It is directly proportional to the product of the masses.

2. It is inversely proportional to the square of separation between them, i.e. it obeys the inverse Square Law.
