Question

Read the given passage and answer the questions based on the passage and related studied concepts.

The universal law of gravitation, proposed by Sir Isaac Newton, is widely accepted to find the magnitude of attractive gravitational force between any two bodies in the universe. Greater the distance between the bodies, weaker is the gravitational force between them and vice versa. Two bodies attract each other with equal and opposite force irrespective of their individual massesas gravitational force is directly proportional to product of masses.
(a) How does the gravitational force change if distance between the objects is halved?
(b) What is the importance of universal law of gravitation?
(c) If two bodies attract each other with equal and opposite force, then why does an apple fall towards earth and not earth towards apple?
(d) What is the magnitude of gravitational force between earth and a unit mass on its surface? [Given mass of earth = 6 ×1024kg; R = 6.4 × 106m]
(e) What to do you mean with Gravitation?
