According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true?

As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us increases.

As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us decreases.

As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Respuesta :

Answer: The statement first and the fourth statement are true.

Explanation:

According to Newton's gravitational law, every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with the force of attraction between the masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

As we move to higher altitude, the force of gravity on use decreases because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance.

If the masses of the two objects are more then there will be greater force of gravity between them.

Therefore, the statement first and the fourth statement are true.

Answer:

-As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

-As we move to a higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.
