Question

Gravitational force between two-point objects having masses m1 and m2 separated by

distance ‘r’ from their centres is

(A)Directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to

distance between their centers

(B) Directly proportional to product of their masses and is independent of distance

between the masses.

(C) Depends on distance between the masses and is independent of magnitude of masses

(D)Directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to square​

Answer 1

Answer:

gravitational force between two point objects having masses m1 and m2 separated by directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Correct Answer is D) Directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to square of the distance between their centers.

Explanation:

First of all, the option D here in the question looks incomplete, but as no other option is correct, then it must be the right one. Now, Gravitational Force is a Universal Conservative Force acting on every body which has mass. The formula for Gravitational Force is :

                                             F = (Gm₁m₂)÷r²

where, G = Gravitational Constant = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ (Nm²)/kg²

            F = Gravitational Force

          m₁ and m₂ = masses of two bodies

            r = distance between their centers

Hence, D is correct according to the explanation mentioned above.
