Question

every object that has mass attracts every other object with a gravitational force. it has been proven that the size of the gravitational force increases as the objects’ masses increase but graviational force decreases rapidly as the distance between the objects increases. this statement about matter and its behavior is best classified as a

Answer 1

Answer;

- This statement about matter and its behavior is best classified as a Law.

-It is the Law of Universal Gravitation.

Explanation;

-The Law of Universal Gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass in the universe by a force pointing in a straight line between the centers-of-mass of both points, and this force is proportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to their separation.This attractive force always points inward, from one point to the other.

-The Law applies to all objects with masses, big or small. Two big objects can be considered as point-like masses, if the distance between them is very large compared to their sizes or if they are spherically symmetric.

Answer 2

- This statement about matter and its behavior is best classified as a Law.

ANSWER-It is the Law of Universal Gravitation.

Explanation;

-The Law of Universal Gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass in the universe by a force pointing in a straight line between the centers-of-mass of both points, and this force is proportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to their separation.This attractive force always points inward, from one point to the other.

-The Law applies to all objects with masses, big or small. Two big objects can be considered as point-like masses, if the distance between them is very large compared to their sizes or if they are spherically symmetric. So therefore your answer would be C. LAW
