Question

The amount of gravitational pull between two bodies depends on their masses and which other variable? A. The speed they travel B. Distance the bodies C. Size of their orbits around the sun D. Shape of the bodies

Answer 1

 A because speed is a major factor

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is  B. Distance the bodies

Explanation:

According to Newton's theory of gravitation, the gravitational interaction between two bodies can be expressed by a force directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them, this means that the force of attraction can be calculated taking the mass of the bodies and the distance that separates them.

It is expressed with the following formula:

$F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2} }$ where (F) is force (G) is universal gravitational constant (m1) is mass of the body1 (m2) is mass of the body2 and (r) is the distance between the bodies.
