The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.

The gravitational force is:

F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.

Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:

a = GM/r²

Force and distance is the main criteria for the movement of the object. The work of the object can be defined as the ‘product’ of the force and distance.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

in a free market system supply and demand forces affect the production and consumption decisions. There is little to no government control in such a system .

Explanation:

A free market is an economic system in which prices are based on competition between private actors and are not affected by other factors besides supply and demand, that is, where there are no external variables that condition the market.

Free market economy systems are characterized by limited government intervention, which characterizes democratic, liberal states and the modern global economy, in which the market in its private face makes most of the economic decisions, leaving the government a minimum amount of necessary regulations.
