Question

In Newton's Universal Law of Gravity, which of the following is true about the relationship between the strength of the gravitational force and the second mass?

A. The force is proportional to this value.

B. The force is inversely proportional to this value.

C. The force is inversely proportional to the square of this value.

D. The force is proportional to the square of this value.

Answer 1

Answer A is correct

The gravitational force is given by

F = G m₁*m₂ / r²

Where m₁ = first mass and m₂ = second mass and r is distance between the masses
