* Newtons are units of force, not distance. The force of gravity is measured in Newtons (N). Distance is measured in meters (m).
* Gravitational force depends on mass and distance. The force of gravity between two objects depends on:
* The mass of each object (m1 and m2): More massive objects exert a stronger gravitational pull.
* The distance between their centers (r): The force of gravity decreases rapidly as the distance between the objects increases.
The Formula:
The formula for calculating the force of gravity is:
```
F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2
```
Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.674 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2)
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between their centers
How Increasing the Distance Affects Gravity:
If you increase the distance between two objects by 10 times, the force of gravity will be reduced by a factor of 100. This is because the distance is squared in the formula.
Example:
Let's say the initial force of gravity is 500 Newtons. If you increase the distance by 10 times, the new force of gravity would be:
```
New Force = 500 N / (10^2) = 500 N / 100 = 5 N
```
To answer your question properly, you need to provide:
* The initial distance between the two objects.
* The masses of the two objects.
Let me know if you have those, and I can calculate the force of gravity for you.
