  • Understanding Gravitational Force: Proportionality and Calculation
    The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to:

    * The product of their masses: This means that the more massive the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.

    * The inverse square of the distance between their centers: This means that as the distance between the objects increases, the gravitational force decreases rapidly.

    In mathematical terms:

    F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

    Where:

    * F is the gravitational force

    * G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.674 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2)

    * m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects

    * r is the distance between their centers
