Solution

  1. Gravity is a force that tries to pull two objects towards each other.
  2. The value of Gravity is 9.8m/s2 on earth
  3. The formula of Newton's law of universal gravitation is F=Gm1m2r2

Where F= force

G=gravitational constant

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between centers of the objects

Hence, the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
