Question
analyze the model of gravitational force between two objects as seen in the image select which statement(s) accurately describes what influences gravitational forces distance gravity volume mass
The gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $G$ is the gravitational - constant, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two objects, and $r$ is the distance between their centers of mass. So, distance and mass influence gravitational forces. Gravity is the result of the gravitational force, not an influencing factor in the sense of the variables in the formula. Volume does not directly appear in the formula for gravitational force.
