Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation questions.
1. Which of the following statements best describes Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation?
Gravity only acts between celestial bodies.
Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
The gravitational force is dependent on the material composition of the objects.
Gravity is a force of attraction that only acts on objects with electric charges.
2. If the distance between two objects is doubled, how does the gravitational force between them change?
It doubles.
It is halved.
It is quadrupled.
It is quartered.
3. The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their and inversely proportional to the square of the between their centers.
4. The universal gravitational constant is represented by the symbol .
5. State the formula for Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and define each variable.
6. Two objects, one with a mass of 50 kg and the other with a mass of 70 kg, are separated by a distance of 2 meters. Calculate the gravitational force between them. (G = 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²)
7. The gravitational force between two objects can be attractive or repulsive.
True
False
8. The value of 'g' (acceleration due to gravity) is constant everywhere in the universe.
True
False
