Questions and Answers

What is the gravitational force?

The momentum that objects with mass have on each other

The friction that objects with mass have on each other

The pull that objects with mass have on each other (correct)

The push that objects with mass have on each other

According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, how does the force between two objects change when the distance between them is tripled?

It becomes three times stronger

It remains the same

It becomes nine times weaker (correct)

It becomes three times weaker

What is the relationship between the force and the masses of the objects according to the Universal Law of Gravitation?

The force is directly proportional to the sum of the masses

The force is directly proportional to the product of the masses

The force is inversely proportional to the sum of the masses
