Question

The gravitational force between two objects is ______ proportional to the products of the masses and _______ proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Answer 1

directly, inversely ... newton's grav eqn

Answer 2

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the products of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It is known as Newton's law of gravitation.

In mathematical terms it is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{Mm}{r^2}$

Where

M and m are two masses

r is the distance between them

G = universal gravitational constant

The value of G is a universal constant. Its value do not varies from one location to another. $G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}$
