Question

Which of the following statements are true?

a) The gravitational force between two objects is propotional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

b)The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the distance between the two objects.

c)The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

d)The gravitaitonal force between two objects is proportional to the distance between the two objects

e) The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

f)The gravitaitonal force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance betweem the two objects.

Explanation / Answer

(1) c)The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

f)The gravitaitonal force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance betweem the two objects.

By universal gravitational law

F=Gm1m2/r^2

that is it is proportional to product of masses and inversely proportional to distance^2
