Solution

  1. The universal force which is acting between objects with masses, is known as the gravitational force.
  2. The gravitational force is directly proportional to product of the masses.
    Fm1m2
    where, F represents gravitational force, m1and m2 represent mass.
  3. The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between two masses.
    F1r2
    where, F represents gravitational force and r is the distance between two objects.
  4. The masses are always positive therefore it is attractive in nature.
