The image shows Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

An illustration with a circle representing the sun and a smaller circle representing a planet. The sun is at a focus of a draw ellipse that the planet is on. There are lines drawn radially out from the Sun to the elliptical path of the planet. The planet is at the part of the ellipse that is closest to the sun. The position of the planet is labeled W and the position opposite the planet is labeled X.
Which describes the changes in Earth’s motion?

The speed increases from W to X because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction opposite to the velocity.
The speed increases from W to X because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction of the velocity.

The speed increases from X to W because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction of the velocity.

D)The speed increases from X to W because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction of the velocity.

Does gravitational force increase with distance?

The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the 2 interacting gadgets, extra separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. so as items are separated from every other, the pressure of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

The force of gravity relies immediately upon the masses of the 2 gadgets, and inversely on the square of the gap between them. this means that the pressure of gravity will increase with mass, but decreases with growing distance among items.
