Newton's law of gravitational force states that ____.
A) an object with no force on acting on it continues at rest or moves in uniform motion in a straight line with constant velocity
B) an object with no force on it moves in a straight line with constant acceleration
C) for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
D) the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them squared
E) an object with a force on it is accelerated in the direction of the force an amount inversely proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the size of the force

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newton's law of gravitational force, also known as the universal law of gravitation, states that the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This is accurately described in option D.
