As the mass of an object increases, its gravitational force also increases. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force \( F \) between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), and inversely proportional to the square of the distance \( r \) between their centers. This relationship is expressed mathematically as:
\[
F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
\]
where \( G \) is the gravitational constant.
This means that if one of the masses increases, the gravitational force between the two objects will increase as well, assuming the distance between them remains constant.
\[
F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
\]
where \( G \) is the gravitational constant.
This means that if one of the masses increases, the gravitational force between the two objects will increase as well, assuming the distance between them remains constant.
