1. Identify the masses ($m_1$ and $m_2$) of the two objects. 2. Determine the distance (r) between their centers. 3. Use the formula $F = G frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$ to calculate the force, where G is the gravitational constant.

1. Use the formula $g = G frac{M}{R^2}$, where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, and R is the radius of the Earth. 2. Plug in the values to calculate g.

1. Object accelerates due to gravity. 2. Velocity and acceleration increase. 3. Air resistance leads to terminal velocity. 4. Velocity becomes constant; acceleration becomes zero. 5. As it approaches the surface, gravity may slightly decrease, impacting the surface.

Near Earth's Surface: $g = G frac{M}{R^2}$ (R is Earth's radius, g is approximately constant) | Far from Earth's Surface: $g = G frac{M}{r^2}$ (r is distance from Earth's center, g varies with distance)

Increasing the distance between two objects decreases the gravitational force between them, following an inverse square relationship.

Increasing the mass of one object increases the gravitational force between it and another object proportionally.

The object accelerates until air resistance equals gravitational force, resulting in terminal velocity.
