Newton believed that the universe was static with the stars fixed in place for all time. in view of his theory of gravity, in which all objects attract all other objects in the universe, how did he explain the fact that these stars did not pull themselves toward each other under these mutual forces, causing the universe to collapse?

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
