How did Newton’s Law of Gravity explain why celestial objects stay in orbit?
a
A combination of the forward motion of the objects and the pulling force of gravity create the rounded orbit shapes
b
Gravity pushes objects across circular paths by attracting them to ellipses
c
Newton explained how gravity creates the foci that objects orbit around
d
Objects need the force of gravity to continue moving in the current orbit directions they were already moving in
Question 10 (1 point)
Which of the following statements is correct about Newton’s Law of Gravitation?
a
Gravitational Theory only applies to objects on the Earth
b
Gravitational Force increases as the mass of the interacting objects increases
c
Gravity has a range limit and cannot act upon objects on the other sides of the Universe
d
As the distance between two interacting objects increases, gravitational force increases between them
d
As the distance between two interacting objects increases, gravitational force increases between them.
For the first question, the correct answer is a. A combination of the forward motion of the objects and the pulling force of gravity create the rounded orbit shapes.
For the second question, the correct answer is b. Gravitational Force increases as the mass of the interacting objects increases.
