Title: What is the mathematical relationship between distance and gravity? Post by: Tontin on Jan 1, 2013 ie - how does gravity change as you get further away from a planet?
eg - if you double the distance what happens to gravity? Title: What is the mathematical relationship between distance and gravity? Post by: smm0309 on Jan 1, 2013 the force of gravity varies as 1/r^2, so if you double your distance from the center of the earth, the force of gravity will be 1/4 of that on the surface.
Title: What is the mathematical relationship between distance and gravity? Post by: LeonBan on Jan 1, 2013 the relation b/w gravity and distance is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.
g inversely proportional 1/d^2 if the distance doubled then gravity will decrease 4 times |
