|
|
mass and distance
|
|

weight

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: -No. The attractive force called gravity does not extend beyond galaxy groups. If you look at Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, you see that the force of gravity on one mass due to another mass depends on their separation r according to the dependence 1/r2.
