Question
when the mass of an object increases, what happens to the gravitational pull of that object? it decreases it increases
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation \(F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\), where \(F\) is the gravitational force (gravitational pull), \(G\) is the gravitational constant, \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are the masses of two objects, and \(r\) is the distance between their centers of mass. When the mass (\(m_1\) or \(m_2\)) of an object increases (assuming other factors \(G\), \(m_2\) or \(m_1\), and \(r\) remain constant), the gravitational force \(F\) (gravitational pull) will increase.
