Which one of the following accurately describes the universal gravitational law?

Question

Question 3 options:

A)

Solid bodies attract other solid bodies, but liquid and gas don't participate in universal gravitation.

B)

Objects with small masses have more gravitational attraction to each other than objects with large masses.

C)

Every object that has mass attracts other objects within a million-mile radius.

D)

As the distance between any two bodies increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.

Answer 1

The correct option that accurately describes the universal gravitational law is:

D) As the distance between any two bodies increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.

This statement aligns with Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the gravitational force between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
