The formula for calculating gravitational force between any two objects is givn by:
F=G* \frac{ m_{1}*m_{2} }{ r^{2} }

Here:
G = universal gravitational constant; 6.67* 10^{-11}  m^{3}  kg^{-1}  s^{-2}
m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
r = distance between two objects

Masses of objects is located in a numerator of a fraction. This means that increasing the mass of any (or both) object increases the value of a fraction. This leads to increase of right side. This means that as mass increases so does the gravitational force.

If the distance was increasing this would mean that the force decreases because distance is located in a denominator of a fraction.

Which two types of air masses would likely form a subtropical jet stream?
shepuryov [24]
The exact location of the 'subtropical-jet stream' is located at the North phase of 30 Degrees and the reason behind this is due to the variation of air which lies on the region of mid-altitude and warmer equatorial air. the correct answer would be Cool and Warm air masses meeting near the equator.

Vlada [557]
1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration  1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg
