The Law of Universal Gravitation and Coulomb s Law for electrostatic forces are often compared because both of these forces are affected by certain quantities that describe objects mass for gravity and for electrostatics and the distance between those objects While there are similarities there are also important differences Which answer most completely describes the difference s between the gravitational force and the electrostatic force Gravitational Force m1 x m d FG G Electrostatic Force Q x Qz d FE k The gravitational force occurs throughout the universe but the electrostatic force only occurs on Earth The gravitational force is much weaker than the electrostatic force The gravitational force is weaker and can only attract objects but the electrostatic force is strong and can both attract and repel The gravitational force can only attract but the electrostatic force can attract or
