There's gravitational force between every two specks of mass in the universe.
That would include between every two people. Regardless of where they are.
The magnitude of the force between two 100-pound students sitting with their centers
20 feet apart is about 0.000000003695 Newton, or about 0.0000000133 ounce.
There is also gravitational force between the lint in the pockets of each student.
That force is much less, because the lint has so much lass mass.

Is there gravitational force between two students sitting in a classroom If so why can't you see what is happening?
Yes, there is gravitational force between the two students. However, the force is extremely weak compared to other forces acting on them. This is why we cannot visibly see the effect of gravity between them.
How does the gravitional force change if theier mass are halved?
If the masses are halved, the gravitational force will also be halved. This is because the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So, if one of the masses is halved, the gravitational force between them will be reduced by half as well.
A type of force between a person and the chair they are sitting on in a classroom?
The force between a person and the chair they are sitting on in a classroom is the normal force. This force is exerted by the chair in the opposite direction of the force the person exerts on the chair due to gravity, preventing the person from falling through the chair.
What is caused by the gravitional force acting on mass?
The gravitational force acting on mass causes objects to be attracted towards each other. This force is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and objects on the Earth's surface.
How is a net force determined if two students moving a piano exert force in the same direction?
If two students are exerting a force in the same direction to move a piano, you can determine the net force by simply adding their individual forces together. The net force is the sum of the forces exerted by both students.
