Question

Which of the following is true for gravitational force?

Answer 1

Answer:

The gravitational force b) Increases with increase in mass.

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}F=Gr2m1m2

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

From the equation, we notice that:

- The force is proportional to the masses, m1 and m2: so, if the masses increase, the force will increase, and if the masses decrease, the force will decrease

- The force is inversely proportional to the distance between the masses, r: so, if the distance increases,  the force will decreases, and if the distance decreases , the force will increases

Therefore, the correct options is only:

Increases with increase in mass

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is b increases in increase of mass because the heavier the object is the more gravitional pull it will have.
