Question

Is the gravitational force between the two objects atractive, repelling, or both? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Attractive

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the gravitational force exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2 and separated by a distance is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

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

Where:

is the Gravitational Constant

and are the masses of the objects

is the distance between the objects

It should be noted: this force is a central force and is attractive.
