Which one of the following accurately describes the universal gravitational law?
A. Solid bodies attract other solid bodies, but liquid and gas don't participate in universal gravitation.
B. As the distance between any two bodies increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.
C. Objects with small masses have more gravitational attraction to each other than objects with large masses.
D. Every object that has mass attracts other objects within a million-mile radius.
Answer (2)
The universal gravitational law states that every mass attracts every other mass, with gravitational force decreasing as the distance increases, making Option B the correct choice. This law is expressed mathematically as F = G r 2 m 1 × m 2 . Other options are incorrect as they misinterpret the nature of gravitational attraction.
