Question

practice it!
newtons law of universal gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts every other object.
which of the following does gravity depend on?
mass and distance
weight and mass
force and distance
force and speed

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is given by the formula \( F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} \), where \( F \) is the gravitational force, \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the two objects, and \( r \) is the distance between their centers. From this formula, we can see that gravity (the gravitational force) depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them. Weight is the force of gravity on an object, so it is a result of gravity, not a factor that gravity depends on. Force is the result of gravity, and speed is not a factor in the gravitational force formula. So the correct option is the one with mass and distance.

Answer:

A. mass and distance
