Question

Select the true statements about Newton's Law of Gravity

		It is the force required so that an object obeys Newton's second law when attracted by another object
		It is inversely proportional to the distance between any two objects
		Mars exerts a gravitational pull on my cat.
		Gravity only acts between nearby objects and disappears for objects in space

Expert Solution

Step 1

According to Newton's law of gravity, every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

that is $F = G \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ ...................1

As the separation between the object increases the gravitational force decreases due to inverse relation
