Final answer:

Newton's law of universal gravitation explains how gravity affects objects based on their mass and distance from each other.


Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

  1. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases because the distance from the center of the Earth increases.
  2. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases because gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses involved.
  3. As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases due to the increased kinetic energy affecting gravitational force.
