Question

newton’s law of universal gravitation states that gravitational force: (1 point)
is strongest between the smallest objects
exists between any two objects with mass
increases when objects are farther apart
only exists between earth and objects on its surface

Explanation:

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe 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. So, gravitational force exists between any two objects with mass. The first option is wrong because gravitational force depends on mass (larger masses have stronger force generally, not just small objects). The third option is wrong as gravitational force decreases with increasing distance (inversely proportional to the square of distance). The fourth option is wrong as gravity exists between any two masses, not just Earth and objects on its surface (e.g., between the Moon and Earth, between two apples, etc.).

Answer:

B. Exists between any two objects with mass
