Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
The force of gravity (F) between two objects is calculated with the following formula:
* F = (G * m1 * m2) / r²
Where:
* G is the gravitational constant (a fixed value)
* m1 is the mass of the first object
* m2 is the mass of the second object
* r is the distance between the centers of the two objects
Factors that Increase Gravitational Force
* Increase the mass of either object (m1 or m2): The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational pull between them.
* Decrease the distance between the objects (r): As objects get closer together, the gravitational force between them increases dramatically.
In summary:
* Increasing mass leads to a stronger gravitational force.
* Decreasing distance leads to a stronger gravitational force.
