What is the effect of increasing the distance between two objects on the gravitational force?
Increasing the distance between two objects decreases the gravitational force between them, following an inverse square relationship.
What is the effect of increasing the mass of one object on the gravitational force between it and another object?
Increasing the mass of one object increases the gravitational force between it and another object proportionally.
What happens when an object falls from a great height considering air resistance?
The object accelerates until air resistance equals gravitational force, resulting in terminal velocity.

What are the key differences between gravitational force near Earth's surface and far from Earth's surface?
Near Earth's Surface: (R is Earth's radius, g is approximately constant) | Far from Earth's Surface: (r is distance from Earth's center, g varies with distance)
