Question

the gravitational force between two particles seperated by a distance r varies as _____​

Answer 1

Gravitational force = G m1 m2 / r²

where m 1

and m 2

are the masses of the two bodies .

we observe that m 1

,m 2

and G (gravitational constant) are constants

⟹ Gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of the distance between the two bodies

That is,

G ∝ 1/ r²
