Universal Gravitation Quiz

Question 1:

What is the law of universal gravitation?

A) Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

B) Every object in the universe moves in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

C) Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

D) The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant.

Answer:

A) Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
