Question

what is the gravitational force

Answer 1

   Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two bodies having masses. The gravitational force depends on the mass (M1 & M2) of each body. It depends on the distance d between their centers of gravity.

   Gravitational force  is a non contact force. It is exerted by each body on the other body , equally and in opposite directions.

   Force = G M1 M2 / d²

  Sir Isaac Newton proposed the above law of gravitation. G = Universal Gravitational constant.

Answer 2

The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass. We call the gravitational force attractive because it always tries to pull masses together, it never pushes them apart. In fact, every object, including you, is pulling on every other object in the entire universe! This is called Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation
