Does the gravitational force obey Newton third law of motion

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

The Newtons third law of motion is every action has equal and opposite reaction.
In gravitation force the two bodies of a given mass separated by a distance exerts a gravitation force towards each other.
Thus, in gravitation both the action and the reaction force is present between them and hence it follows Newtons third law of motion.
