Question
what happens to the force of gravity as you get farther from earth? it gets stronger. it gets weaker. rewatch
Brief Explanations
The force of gravity follows an inverse - square law. The formula for gravitational force is $F = G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$, where $G$ is the gravitational constant, $M$ and $m$ are the masses of the two objects (Earth and another object in this case), and $r$ is the distance between their centers of mass. As $r$ increases (getting farther from Earth), the value of $F$ decreases.
