Here's why:
* Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: This law states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. This means that if you increase the mass of one object, the force of gravity will increase proportionally.
* Formula: The formula for gravitational force is:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* G is the gravitational constant
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between their centers
As you can see, the force (F) is directly proportional to the product of the masses (m1 * m2). If you increase m1, the product will increase, and therefore the force will increase.
Example:
Imagine you have two objects, one with a mass of 1 kg and the other with a mass of 2 kg. They experience a certain gravitational force between them. Now, if you increase the mass of the 1 kg object to 3 kg, the force of gravity between them will be stronger because the product of their masses (3 kg * 2 kg) is now greater than before (1 kg * 2 kg).
