Answer:
Two factors effecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between 2 objects are the product of their masses and square of distance between them.
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation
where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant and its value is 6.6743 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg₂ , m₁ and m₂ are masses of bodies and r is the distance between them.
It can be seen from the above equation that F is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
F ∝ m₁m₂
F ∝ 1/r²
As far as the masses of the bodies increase, magnitude of the Gravitational force increases and if distance between them increase then Gravitational force between them decreases.
