Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their .
2. The gravitational constant is represented by the symbol .
3. The force of gravity decreases as the distance between two objects .
4. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately m/s².
1. Which of the following statements is true regarding gravitational force?
It only acts between large objects.
It is always an attractive force.
It is strongest at greater distances.
It depends on the color of the objects.
1. The value of 'g' (acceleration due to gravity) is the same on all planets.
True
False
1. State Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation in your own words.
2. Explain how the distance between two objects affects the gravitational force between them.
1. Two objects have masses of 10 kg and 20 kg, respectively. They are separated by a distance of 0.5 meters. Calculate the gravitational force between them. (G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²)
