Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about gravitational field lines?

  • Step 2: Know that gravitational field lines are imaginary lines that represent the direction of the gravitational force.
  • Step 3: Remember that gravitational forces always attract objects towards the mass that creates the field.
  • Step 4: Conclude that since the force is attractive, the field lines must point towards the mass.
