Question 11 • Physics Sem 1 2025-2026

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?

Answer
A
the masses of the objects and their densities
B
the distance between the objects and their shapes
C
the densities of the objects and their shapes
D
the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation

Newton’s law of universal gravitation is F = G(m₁m₂)/r². Thus, the force depends on the masses of both objects and the distance between their centers; it does not depend directly on their densities or shapes. The correct choice is D, the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
