(Blank 1) gradually becomes stronger
(Blank 1) gradually becomes weaker
(Blank 1) stays constant at all times
(Blank 2) the strength of gravity follows an inverse square law with distance
(Blank 2) the mass of the cloud increases as it collapses
(Blank 2) the total gravitational force is a conserved quantity
