|
|
the diameter of the objects and how far apart they are
|
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: -Hence, the two factors are the masses (m1 and m2) of the objects and the distance (R) between the objects.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since gravitational force is inversely proportionalto the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
