|
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on
|
|
mass of the objects and distance between the objects
|
|
|
size of the large object only
|
|
|
distance between the two objects only
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them. This means that the force of gravity increases with mass, but decreases with increasing distance between objects.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.
