Question

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

Answer 1

Hey user !!!

Here's the answer you are looking for

Gravity is a fundamental force in the universe. The amount of force, gravitational force that a body posses depends upon its mass and distance.

Einstein's relativity theory was able to explain that the gravitational force depends upon mass and distance but was unable to answer WHY.

So to answer this WHY question we need to have a look at discoveries of other scientists.

Some discoveries say that every object emits tiny particles known as graviton. These are extremely small particles. The amount of graviton particles released by a body depends on its mass, it is directly proportional to its mass. The more the mass, the more gravitons released. Hence gravitational force depends on mass.

Now why does it depend upon distance?

Gravitons form a cloud like formation around the object. This gravitons cloud is more denser near the object and as the distance from the object increases, the density of graviton cloud decreases. Hence gravitational force depends of distance.
