Question

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities? the masses of the objects and their densities the distance between the objects and their shapes the densities of the objects and their shapes the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Answer 1

the mass of objects and distance between them

Answer 2

Answer : The gravitational force depends on the the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

Explanation :

The universal law of gravitation gives the relationship between the masses and the distance between them.

It states that there exists a force in the universe which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(d^2)`

Where,

G is the universal constant, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

m₁ and m₂ are the mass

d is the distance between them

So, the correct statement is " the masses of the objects and the distance between them".
