A parachute works because the canvas of the parachute is acted upon by $\dots$.

According to Newton's Law of Gravity, how does increasing the distance between two masses affect the gravitational force between them?

According to Newton's Law of Gravity, which of the following objects exerts the strongest gravitational pull on the Earth? $F=\frac{G{m}_1{m}_2}{r^2}$

Which factor is a primary cause of the gravitational force between two objects according to Newton's Law of Gravity ($F=\frac{\mathrm{Gm\_1m\_2}}{r^2}$)?

According to Newton's Law of Gravity, if the Earth goes around the Sun, what provides the force that keeps the Earth in its orbit?

According to $Newton’s$ Law of Gravity, which of the following can cause a moving object to change its direction?

According to Newton's Law of Gravity ($F=\frac{\mathrm{Gm\_1m\_2}}{r^2}$) and Bernoulli's principle ($P+\frac{1}{2}{\rho }^2{v}^2+\mathrm{\rho gh}$), why can a $180-\mathrm{km}/h$ wind blowing over the flat roof of a house cause the roof to lift off the house?

Given three point masses $a$, $b$, and $c$ placed at the vertices of a right triangle with $a$ at the right angle, $b$ at distance $r$ along the x-axis from $a$, and $c$ at distance $r$ along the y-axis from $a$, what is the magnitude of the net gravitational force on mass $a$ due to masses $b$ and $c$? (Assume all masses are equal to $m$ and use $G$ for the gravitational constant.)
