Question

what does the gravitational force between two objects depend on?
a) their shapes
b) their speeds
c) their masses
d) their volumes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force \( F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\), where \( G\) is the gravitational constant, \( m_1\) and \( m_2\) are the masses of the two objects, and \( r\) is the distance between their centers of mass. The formula shows that the gravitational force depends on the masses of the two objects. Shape, speed, and volume are not factors in this formula.

Answer:

C. their masses
