In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)

Referring to the Newton's law of universal gravitation, if a person has a weight of 700N on earth, how much is his weight, when he is in a balloon in a high altitude? A bird sitting on the limb of a tree is moving about 30 km/s with respect to the Sun. If the bird takes 1 second to drop down to a worm below, the worm would be 30 km downrange from the bird when it reached the ground. This faulty reasoning is best countered with Newton's O a. Bigger than 700 N, as g is proportional by square of distance form center of earth O a. law of inertia O b. Smaller than 700 N, as g is inversely proportional by square of distance form the center of earth O b. law of gravity O c. The same 700 N, as g is always constant. Od.
