Question

what is the force that every mass exerts on every other mass?

○ weight

○ gravity

○ matter

○ pull

Explanation:

• Weight: It is the force exerted on an object due to gravity (weight = mass × gravitational acceleration), not the force between every mass.
• Gravity: According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, every mass attracts every other mass with a force called gravity. The formula is \(F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\), where \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are the masses, \(r\) is the distance between them, and \(G\) is the gravitational constant.
• Matter: It is anything that has mass and takes up space, not a force.
• Pull: It is a general term for a force - like action but not the specific name for the force between every mass.

Answer:

gravity
