According to Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force (F) between two objects with masses m₁ and m₂ separated by a distance r is given by F = G * (m₁*m₂)/r², where G is the gravitational constant. This formula shows that the gravitational force depends on the masses of the two bodies and the distance between their centers. Therefore, the gravitational force is *not* the same for all pairs of bodies in the universe. It varies depending on their masses and separation.

– Gravitational force is a universal force acting between any two objects with mass.
– The magnitude of the gravitational force depends on the product of the masses and the square of the distance between them.
– Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces but is dominant on large scales due to the large masses of celestial bodies.

Statements A, B, and C are correct. Gravity acts on all bodies with mass. It is the dominant force holding together planets, stars, and galaxies. At the atomic and subatomic levels, the masses are extremely small, making the gravitational force between them negligible compared to electromagnetic and nuclear forces.
