Is the gravitational force between the two objects atractive, repelling, or both? Explain how you know.

Attractive

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the gravitational force  exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2 and separated by a distance   is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

 F = G   (

Where:

is the Gravitational Constant

and  are the masses of the objects

 is the distance between the objects

It should be noted: this force is a central force and is attractive.
