Question
Mention some main characteristics of gravitational force.
✓
Answer
Characteristics of gravitational force:
- Every massive object in the universe experiences gravitational force.
- It is the force of mutual attraction between any two objects by virtue of their masses.
- It is always an attractive force with infinite range.
- It does not depend upon the intervening medium.
- It is much weaker than other fundamental forces. Gravitational force is 10 times weaker than strong nuclear force.
