Question

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that

A. earth's gravity cancels out the gravity that any other object might have

B. Small masses don't exert gravity on larger masses

C. You excerpt a gravitational force against Earth

D. All of the above

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with force directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

C is the only correct answer. You exert a gravitational force against Earth, AND Earth exerts a gravitational force against you.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is:

D. All of the above

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that Earth's gravity cancels out the gravity that any other object might have (to some extent), small masses do exert gravity on larger masses (though it may be relatively weak), and you exert a gravitational force on Earth (though it's also relatively weak).
