So the formula is F=Gm1m2/r^2. Could you substitute one of the mass values for an energy value since gravity attracts energy ? Or would this require a different equation?
Gravitational attraction is the force of attraction between two objects with mass. It is described by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which states that the force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that the greater the mass of the objects and the closer they are, the stronger the gravitational attraction will be.
Gravitational attraction refers to the force of attraction between two objects, while gravity is a fundamental force that attracts all objects with mass towards each other. Gravity is the result of the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of massive objects, and it is responsible for the motion of planets, stars, and galaxies.
No, gravitational attraction is always a positive force. This means that it always pulls objects towards each other and never pushes them away. However, the direction of the force can be negative if it is pointing in the opposite direction of the motion of the objects.
The force of gravitational attraction decreases as the distance between two objects increases. This is because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. This means that the farther apart the objects are, the weaker the gravitational attraction will be.
Yes, gravitational attraction can be cancelled out if there is another force acting in the opposite direction with equal magnitude. This is known as equilibrium, and it occurs when the forces on an object are balanced, resulting in no net force. In this case, the gravitational attraction would be cancelled out and the objects would not move towards each other.
