Force and Motion Dynamics
According to Newton's Shell Theorem, what is the gravitational force on an object located inside a uniform spherical shell?
Equal to the gravitational force outside the shell at the same distance.
Proportional to the distance from the center of the shell.
Zero.
Inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the shell.
