The formula is
F_grav = G * m1 * m2 / r^2
G m1 and m2 are going to stay the same once chosen no matter what the distance is. The only thing that will change is the distance.
As the distance increases, the Gravitational Force will decrease. It will decrease by quite a bit.
As the distance decreases, the gravitational force will Increase.
The relationship is inverse. The moon travelling around the earth is one example. The earth travelling around the sun is another.
<u>Mass</u>
- Mass is measured in kilograms.
- Mass does not change when gravity changes.
- Mass is the amount of matter in something.
<u>Weight</u>
- Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
- Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
- Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
- Weight is a gravitational force.
Hope you could understand.

Answer:
Principle of conservation of linear momentum is state as provided no external force acts on a system of colliding bodies the total linear momentum of the bodies (in a given direction) remains constant
