Question

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the distance between the two objects. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the distance between the two objects. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The gravitational force acting between two masses is given by :;

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m₁ and m₂ are masses

d is the distance between masses

The correct statements are as follows :

1. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

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

Hence, this is the required solution.
