Question
If there is a gravitational force of attraction between any two bodies, why do the bodies not stick together?
- Such a gravitational force does not exist.
- The force is repulsive in nature.
- It is negligible in magnitude.
- There is another force preventing this kind of motion.
Hint:
We need great force to move something.
The correct answer is: It is negligible in magnitude.
The correct option is c)It is negligible in magnitude.
There is an attractive force between the two objects, but it is too small to overcome the other forces acting on the objects and pull them together.
