What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, dependent on its mass and the gravitational pull of the planet.

What happens to gravitational force if the distance between two objects is halved?

Back

If the distance between two objects is halved, the gravitational force increases.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

The formula for gravitational force is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the two masses.
