Answer: attractive
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the gravitational force [tex]F[/tex] exerted between two bodies of masses [tex]m1[/tex] and [tex]m2[/tex] and separated by a distance [tex]r[/tex] is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:
[tex]F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]G[/tex] is the Gravitational Constant
[tex]m1[/tex] and [tex]m2[/tex] are the masses of the objects
[tex]r[/tex] is the distance between the objects
It should be noted: this force is a central force and is attractive.
