Question

What is Gravitational Force?

Answer 1

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.
   $\mathrm{F}\propto {\mathrm{m}}_1{\mathrm{m}}_2$
   where, $\mathrm{F}$ represents gravitational force, ${\mathrm{m}}_1$and ${\mathrm{m}}_2$ represent mass.
3. The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between two masses.
   $\mathrm{F}\propto \frac{1}{{\mathrm{r}}^2}$
   where, $\mathrm{F}$ represents gravitational force and $\mathrm{r}$ is the distance between two objects.
4. The masses are always positive therefore it is attractive in nature.
