What is the basic premise of the universal gravitational law? Question 7 options: Each object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object that has mass. The motion of an object in a circular path is kept along that path due to gravitational force. The force of an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. The acceleration of an object in freefall will always be 9.8 meters per second squared, due to gravitational pull.

Answer:

A. Each object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object that has mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

The universal law of gravitation states that every object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object in the universe that has mass. The force increases as the mass of the objects increases, and decreases as the objects become further and further apart.

The correct answer is A. Each object in the universe that has mass attracts every other object that has mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational law proposed by Newton explains how the gravitational force works. The basic idea or premise in this law is that the gravitational law exists in all the universe, and occurs with all objects that have a mass. This includes the fact all objects or particles that have a mass attract all other objects with mass but this is also influenced by the distance between the objects, and the masses of each object. In this way, the gravitational force is equal to the gravitational constant multiplied by the mass of the two objects and divided by the distance between the objects.
