Answer:
1. the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.
2. 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
3. distance between objects
masses of the objects
Explanation:
The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by
where G is the gravitational constant m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects r is the distance between the two objects
By looking at the formula, we see that the gravitational force is affected only by two quantities:
- the masses of the objects, m1 and m2
- the distance between the objects, r
4. Gravitational force -an attractive force that exists between all objects with mass; an object with mass attracts another object with mass; the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
5. 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.
