gravitational force formula by mass and distance

Solution

The formula for gravitational force is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

Where:

  • F is the force of gravity between the two objects (in Newtons, N)
  • G is the gravitational constant (6.67430(15)×10−11 N(m/kg)^2)
  • m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects (in kilograms, kg)
  • r is the distance between the centers of the two objects (in meters, m)

The formula states that the gravitational force (F) between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses (m1 and m2), and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between their centers. The proportionality constant is the gravitational constant (G).
