Question
which statement describes newton’s law of universal gravitation?
○ mass has little effect on gravity between objects.
○ gravity pushes objects away from earth’s center.
○ gravity does not act between earth and the moon.
○ every object in the universe attracts every other object.
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that gravitational attraction exists between all objects with mass in the universe, proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The other options are incorrect: mass is a key factor in gravity, gravity is an attractive (not repulsive) force, and gravity clearly acts between Earth and the Moon (keeping the Moon in orbit).
