2. What is the force of gravity between two 1000 kg cars separated by a distance of 20 m on a highway?

3. Using the force, calculated in # 2 above, and the weight of the car, calculate:     

Force (from #2) divided by the weight of car   

4. How would the force of gravity between two masses be affected if the separation distance between them is doubled?

5. How would the force of gravity between two masses be affected if the separation distance between them is decreased by one-half?
