- Gravitational
In summary, gravitational force is a force that exists between any two objects with mass and is responsible for their attraction. It is calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on an object, while gravitational force is the actual force between two objects. Distance affects gravitational force, with the force decreasing as the distance between objects increases. Gravitational force cannot be shielded or blocked as it is a fundamental force of nature.

Dude, that's pretty much right LOL
The book usually rounds up a little bit.. When dealing with gravitational stuff past the surface, it gets messy when we want to be accurate.
My teacher always makes test with numbers not VERY close to what we always get but off by like + or - 1

haha, actually its wrong. i just got lucky. I am doing this homework with a friend (who has different numbers) and it came out to be a wrong answer. thanks for responding
1. What is gravitational force?
Gravitational force is a force that exists between any two objects with mass. It is the force responsible for the attraction between objects, such as the Earth and the Moon.
2. How is gravitational force calculated?
Gravitational force is calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
3. What is the difference between weight and gravitational force?
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, while gravitational force is the actual force that exists between two objects with mass. Weight is affected by the mass of the object and the strength of the gravitational force, while gravitational force is only affected by the mass and distance between two objects.
4. How does distance affect gravitational force?
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity decreases as the distance between two objects increases. This means that the farther apart two objects are, the weaker the gravitational force between them will be.
5. Can gravitational force be shielded or blocked?
No, gravitational force cannot be shielded or blocked. It is a fundamental force of nature that exists between all objects with mass, regardless of any barriers or obstacles that may be present.
