The gravitational force between two bodies is
The gravitational force between two bodies is
- A. repulsive at large distances
- B. attractive at all places
- C. attractive at short distances
- D. repulsive at short distances
Step-by-step solution
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two masses is always attractive, acting along the line joining their centers. It does not become repulsive at any distance. Observations and general relativity confirm that gravity is universally attractive.
