Question

increasing which factor will cause the gravitational force between two objects to decrease? weights of the objects distance between the objects acceleration of the objects masses of the objects

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Newton's law of universal gravitation states gravitational force is given by $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $G$ is a constant, $m_1,m_2$ are the masses of the objects, and $r$ is the distance between them. The force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Increasing distance will reduce the force, while increasing mass (related to weight) increases it. Acceleration does not directly affect the gravitational force between two objects.

Answer:

distance between the objects
