What kind of force describes the attraction or repulsion of two objects separated by a distance?

Gravitational Force
Magnetic Force
Nuclear Force
Centripetal Force

The correct answer is: Gravitational Force

Gravitational force is the correct answer because it is the force that describes the attraction or repulsion between two objects based on their mass and distance from each other. This force is universal and applies to all objects in the universe. The other options are incorrect because they refer to different types of force. B Magnetic force is the force between two magnets or a magnet and a magnetic material. C: Nuclear force is the force that holds together the particles within the nucleus of an atom. D: Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular motion around a center point. Therefore, gravitational force is the specific force that fits the given scenario and not any of the other options.
