Abstract
The amount of force between two objects depends upon how much mass each contains and the distance between their centers of mass. For example, an apple hanging from a tree branch will have less gravitational force acting on it than when it has fallen to Earth. The reason for this is because the center of mass of an apple, when it is hanging from a tree branch, is farther from the center of mass of Earth than when lying on the ground.
