Question 7 • 26/27 EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE A

Which statement describes Newton’s law of universal gravitation?

Answer
A
Mass has little effect on gravity between objects.
B
Gravity pushes objects away from Earth’s center.
C
Gravity does not act between Earth and the moon.
D
Every object in the universe attracts every other object.

Explanation

Newton’s law of universal gravitation says that every object with mass attracts every other object with mass. The strength of that attraction depends on the objects’ masses and the distance between them. So the statement “Every object in the universe attracts every other object” is correct; gravity does not push objects away or stop acting between Earth and the moon.
