Question

Newton's law of gravitation applies to
(a) small bodies only
(b) planets only
(c) both small and big bodies
(d) only valid for solar system

Answer 1

Answer:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION C: Both small and big bodies

• Every point mass in the universe is attracted to every other point mass in the universe by a force pointing in a straight line between their centers of mass, and this force is proportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to their separation, according to the Law of Universal Gravitation.
• From one area to the next, this enticing power is always dragged inside.
• The Law holds for all mass objects, no matter how huge or small they are.
• They can be considered point-like masses if the distance between two heavy objects is relatively large in proportion to their sizes or if they are spherically symmetric.
• Each object's mass can be represented as a point mass at its center of mass in these conditions.
