Gravity

Question 6 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Which factors affect the gravitational force between objects? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
difference in speed of objects
B
direction of movement of objects
C
distance between objects
D
masses of the objects
E
volumes of the objects

Explanation

Newton’s law of gravitation is F = G(m₁m₂)/r², so the force depends on the masses of both objects and the distance between them. The objects’ speed, direction of movement, and volume do not appear in this relationship. Therefore, the correct choices are distance between objects and masses of the objects.
