The force of gravity from one object extends to infinity never going to zero. When we say that gravitation is universal we mean that
A)the Earth exerts gravitational force on objects on its surface.
B)the Earth exerts a gravitational force on its Moon and vice versa.
C)the Earth, Moon, and Sun exert gravitational forces on each other.
D)all material objects in the universe exert gravitational forces on one another.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"All material objects in the universe exert gravitational forces on one another" is the correct choice because it reflects the universal nature of gravity as described by the law of gravitation formulated by Isaac Newton. This law states that every object attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore, the force of gravity exists between all material objects in the universe, regardless of their size, shape, or location. Choices A, B, and C are also true but are limited in scope compared to the universal nature of gravity.
