Question

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects placed at distance R is proportional to:
(A) R
(B) R2
(C) 1/R
(D) 1/R2

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer will be (C ) 1/R^2

Answer 2

Hello there,

◆ Answer -

(D) 1/R²

● Explaination -

Consider two bodies with masses m1 and m2 at distance R from each other.

Gravitational force acting on the bodies is given by -

F = Gm1m2/R²

When G, m1 and m2 are unchanged,

F ∝ 1/R²

Therefore, gravitational force of attraction between two objects placed at distance R is proportional to 1/R².

Thanks dear...
