The universal part of Newton's law of universal gravitation is a common source of conusion. The universal means that the amount of graivtational force is the same for all objects. the force of gravity acts between all objects. the acceleration caused by gravity is the same for all objects.

Concept explainers

Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.
