Relationship between the masses of objects and the gravitational force between them
Answer:
* ᴅᴇꜰɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ :
Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects.
* ɪᴍᴩᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ :
Gravity is very important to us. We could not live on Earth without it. The sun's gravity keeps Earth in orbit around it, keeping us at a comfortable distance to enjoy the sun's light and warmth. It holds down our atmosphere and the air we need to breathe.
* Factors affecting gravitationaforces between ᴏʙᴊᴇᴄᴛꜱ :
- Objects with greater mass have a stronger force of gravity between them. ...
- Objects that are closer together have a stronger force of gravity between them.
* Relationship between the masses of objects and the gravitational force between them
Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
* Relationship between the distance between objects and the gravitational force betweenthem
Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.
