Universal Law of Gravitation Quiz

Gravitational Force and Distance

• When the distance between two objects is doubled, the gravitational force between them becomes one-quarter of its original value.
• This is because the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

Unit of Gravitational Force

• The SI unit of gravitational force is the Newton (N).

Universal Law of Gravitation

• The universal law of gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.
• The law is often referred to as the law of universal gravitation, and it was first presented by Sir Isaac Newton.
• The law applies to all objects with mass, and it is a fundamental principle in understanding the behavior of objects in the universe.
