What are two things that the amount of gravitational force between two objects depends on?

Asked by Yoma

Answer (3)

1). the product of the two masses being gravitationally attracted to each other
2). the distance between their centers of mass
And that's IT. The gravitational force between them depends on only those two things, nothing else.

The equation behind this question is:
g = (G m M) / (r^2)
g is the gravitational force G is the Universal Gravitational Constant M is the mass of one object and m is the mass of the other constant r is the distance between the two objects

The gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. It increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance. This relationship is defined by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
