According to the law of Universal Gravitation:
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Every body in the universe attracts every other body
- B. The force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of their masses
- C. The force of attraction is inversely proportional to the square of their distance
- D. All of the above
