Question

Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts every other object. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

Answer 1

True.

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Answer 2

The given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts every other object. This statement is true.

The force with which one object attracts another object is called gravitational force. It is given by :

`F=G(Mm)/(r^2)`

Where M and m are masses of two objects

r is the distance between two objects

G is universal gravitational constant

Gravitational force is one of the weakest force. It is a universal force. It is about
`10^(39)` times weaker than electrostatic force
