Answer:
Gravitation Gravity
It is a universal force It is not a universal force
It is a weak force It is a strong force
The force is F=(GM1M2)/R2 The force is F=mg
The direction of gravitational
force lies in the radial
direction from the masses
The direction of the force of gravity is along the line joining the earth’s center and the center of the body. Its direction is towards the center of the earth.
The force can be 0 when
the separation between
bodies is infinity
The force of gravity can be 0 at the center of the earth
It requires two masses It requires only one mass
