Question

The Superposition Principle states that the net gravitational force on an object is ______.

Options

• The product of all forces

• The vector sum of all individual forces

• The average of all forces

• The difference of all forces

Answer 1

The Superposition Principle states that the net gravitational force on an object is the vector sum of all individual forces.

Explanation:

For a collection of masses, the total force on any mass is the vector sum of gravitational forces from all other masses.
