How does mass and distance affect gravity?
Well distance has barely any effect on it, but mass does sinceForce = acceleration x massThe acceleration in this case is always 9.81 m²/s (= Gravity), so the force actually depends on the mass only.
How does your distance from plants affect your gravity?
it doesnt. its your distance from the mass you are attracted towards. newtons laws including universal gravitation don't depend or involve plants in any way .
How can distance affect the size of the shadows?
answ2. From a distance, shadows will appear to behave as any other object would. However, if the angle of illumination alters, then the length of the shadow will lengthen or shorten, and thus alter...
How does the size of a planet affect its gravity?
Size does not effect a planets gravity, its mass does. The more massive a planet the stronger its gravitational force.
How does gravity affect mass and distance?
The gravitational force felt between any two objects is inversely proportionate to their distance. This means, that if I move you away from the Earth, the effect of Earths gravity will decrease as...
