Question

Which statement best describes the gravitational force between two objects?
A.
The objects repel each other only if they have very different masses.
B.
The objects always repel each other.
C.
The objects always attract each other.
D.
The objects attract each other only if they are moving toward each other.

Answer 1

C. The objects always attract each other.

Newton's law of universal gravitation gives F = G m1 m2 / r^2 directed along the line joining them — each mass pulls the other toward itself.
