The force of gravity is determined by:

1. The mass of the objects in question

2. The distance between the objects.

This is calculated using the following equation:

F=G*(m*M)/(r^2)

where

F=the force of gravity on each object toward the other object (in units of "newtons")

G=The gravitational constant, 6.67384*10^-11 (in units of "meters cubed per kilogram second squared")

m=The mass of one object (kilograms)

M=The mass of the other object (kilograms)

and

r^2=The distance between the objects squared (Meters)

The strength of the gravitational force of attraction
between two objects depends on . . .

-- the product of the masses of the objects, and

-- the distance between the centers of mass of the objects.

What do motion depend on?

There are three things that motion depends upon. The first is the mass of the object that is to be set into motion. The second is the strength of the friction that is going up against the object. The third is the strength of the gravity that is pulling upon the object.
