¿Qué es la dualidad onda/partícula? Parte 2

Gravity is a fundamental force that not only causes objects to fall but also governs the motion of celestial bodies. It is an attractive force that acts between all objects with mass, influencing everything from the Earth's orbit around the Sun to the formation of the Sun itself. Isaac Newton discovered that the gravitational force decreases with the square of the distance between two objects and is proportional to their masses. Gravity also affects objects with energy, such as light, allowing phenomena like the deflection of photons by the Sun and the trapping of light by black holes.

What role does gravity play in the solar system?

• It repels objects with mass.

• It keeps celestial bodies in orbit.

• It has no effect on the Sun.

• It only causes objects to fall.

According to Newton, how does the gravitational force change with distance?

• It increases with the square of the distance.

• It remains constant regardless of distance.

• It decreases with the square of the distance.

• It doubles with every unit of distance.

Why do we feel Earth's gravity more than the Moon's?

• The Earth and Moon have the same gravitational pull.

• The Moon has more mass but is further away.

• The Moon is closer to us.

• The Earth has more mass and is closer.

What effect does the Moon's gravity have on Earth?

• It causes earthquakes.

• It has no effect.

• It changes the Earth's orbit.

• It creates tides.

How does gravity affect light?

• It repels light away from massive objects.

• It only affects light from the Sun.

• It can deflect light and trap it in black holes.

• It has no effect on light.
