Answer:

gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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
