Question

Law of Universal Gravitation says that there is a gravitational pull between all objects in the universe. The amount of that gravitational pull is dependent on:
Question 5 options:

a.The distance between the objects

b.The mass of the objects

c.Both the mass of the objects and the distance between them

d.The mass of the objects and the material they are made of

Answer 1

the answer is c. both the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

Answer 2

Answer:

c.Both the mass of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation:

The Law of Universal Gravitation states that the force of gravitational pull between objects is directly proportional to the product of the mass of both objects and indirectly proportional to the square of the distance between them.

This means that as the product of the masses increases, the force increases. On the other hand, as the distance between the objects increases, the force decreases.

It can be computed with the formula:

$F = G\dfrac{M_{1}M_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

F = Gravitational force

M₁ = Mass of object 1

M₂ = Mass of object 2

r = distance between the center of the masses

G = gravitational constant (this is a fixed number so the pull is not dependent on this)
