According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, the force of gravity between two objects depends on which of the following factors?

• Mass of the first object only

• Mass of the second object only

• Distance between the objects only

• Mass of both objects and the distance between them

The Universal Law of Gravitation states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to

• The mass of the first object

• The mass of the second object

• The square of the distance between the objects

• The product of the masses of both objects

If the distance between two objects is doubled, how does the force of gravity between them change?

• It doubles

• It quadruples

• It halves

• It becomes four times smaller

Which of the following statements is true according to the Universal Law of Gravitation?

• The force of gravity between two objects is stronger if they have the same mass.

• The force of gravity between two objects is stronger if they are closer together.

• The force of gravity between two objects is stronger if they have opposite charges.

• The force of gravity between two objects is stronger if they are in motion.
