Step 1
- According to Newton's law of gravity, every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
that is ...................1
- As the separation between the object increases the gravitational force decreases due to inverse relation

The force has the same magnitude on each object. The magnitude is directly proportional to the product of the objects' masses. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. Where, F = gravitational force between two objects = gravitational constant = 6.673 × 1011 N x m²/kg? m, and m, = masses of the two objects in kg d = distance between the two objects in m m,m, F, = G( d 5.
