Which is the equation for the law of universal gravitation?
F = G * (m1*m2) / d^2
If the distance between two objects is 500 km and is increased to 1000 km, what happens to the gravitational force between them?
It decreases by a factor of 4
Why do you feel 'weightless' on the moon?
The gravitational force of the moon is significantly less than that of the earth
The gravitational force between two objects depends on
the mass of the objects and the distance between their centers
The law of universal gravitation states that
two objects pull on each other with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
