Question

a paperclip and a computer are sitting on your desk. what is true about the gravitational force of these two objects? the paperclip attracts the computer with less gravitational force than the computer attracts the paperclip the computer and the paperclip attract each other with equal gravitational force the computer attracts the paperclip with less gravitational force than the paperclip attracts the computer there is no gravitational force between the paperclip and the computer

Explanation:

According to Newton's third - law of motion and the law of universal gravitation, every object attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. The gravitational forces between two objects are an action - reaction pair. So, the gravitational force that the paperclip exerts on the computer is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the gravitational force that the computer exerts on the paperclip.

Answer:

The computer and the paperclip attract each other with equal gravitational force
