1. Which of the following statements best describes the Universal Law of Gravitation?
Objects with more mass fall faster.
Every particle 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.
Gravity only exists on Earth.
The force of gravity depends on the color of an object.
2. If the distance between two objects increases, what happens to the gravitational force between them?
It increases.
It decreases.
It stays the same.
It becomes zero.
3. The force of gravity is always an force, meaning it pulls objects towards each other.
4. The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on their and the between them.

True
False
6. Gravity is the only force responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun.
True
False
7. Explain how the mass of an object affects the gravitational force it exerts on another object.
