1. According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to:
The distance between their centers
The square of the distance between their centers
The product of their masses
The sum of their masses
2. What is the approximate value of the universal gravitational constant (G)?
9.8 m/s²
6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
3.0 x 10⁸ m/s
1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
3. The force of gravity is an force, meaning it always pulls objects together.
4. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is approximately .
