Question

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?

A. the masses of the objects and their densities
B. the distance between the objects and their shapes
C. the densities of the objects and their shapes
D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them Mark this and return

Answer 1

D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.

And you can get it using the following equation:

`f = (Gm_(1)m_(2) )/(d^(2) )`

Where :

G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

m represent the mass of each of the two objects

d is the distance between the centers of the objects.
