Question

The force pulling the moon toward Earth depends on the mass of the two bodies and which factor? A. the distance between them B. the size of their orbits around the sun C. the location of their centers of mass D. the speed they travel

Answer 1

A. the distance between them

inversely proportional to the square of distance according to
F = Gm1m2/d^2

Answer 2

The force pulling the moon toward Earth depends on the mass of the two bodies and the distance between them.

What is the Universal Gravitational law of force?

Newton's gravitational law states that "All the objects present in the universe attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction. This force of gravitational attraction is given as;

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

Here

G= Universal gravitational constant

$m_1$= Mass of the first body

$m_2$= mass of the second body

r= Distance between two bodies

So from the above formula, we can say that the pull on the moon by the earth will depend upon the masses of both and the distance between the earth and the moon.

Thus force pulling the moon toward Earth depends on the mass of the two bodies and the distance between them.
