Responses

it operates only within our solar system.

it applies to all objects.

it applies mainly to planets and moons.

it operates in one direction.

The correct answer is: it applies to all objects.

noo

I apologize for the incorrect response.

The correct answer is: it applies to all objects. Gravitational force is a fundamental force of nature that acts between all objects with mass. It is not limited to our solar system or specific types of objects like planets and moons.

The correct answer is: it applies to all objects.

The correct answer to complete the sentence is: "it applies to all objects."

To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the question and the options provided.

The question asks why gravitational force is said to be universal, indicating that it applies universally to something.

Looking at the options:
1. "it operates only within our solar system" - This option limits the scope of gravitational force to our solar system, but gravitational force actually extends beyond our solar system.
2. "it applies to all objects" - This option correctly states that gravitational force applies to all objects. It is not limited to specific objects or locations.
3. "it applies mainly to planets and moons" - This option narrows down the application of gravitational force to planets and moons, excluding other objects where gravity plays a role.
4. "it operates in one direction" - This option refers to the directionality of gravity, but gravitational force acts between objects in all directions, depending on the masses involved.

By considering all the options and their relevance to the question, we can conclude that the correct answer is "it applies to all objects."
