- 3What is Gravity?Gravity is the force of attraction between two masses.
- 4What makes the force of Gravity stronger?1. When the objects have large masses
2. When the objects are closer together. - 5On Earth, how many Newtons does gravity pull on every kilogram of mass?On Earth, gravity pulls on every kilogram of mass with a force of 10N
