Question

Gravitational force on increasing the distance between two bodies.

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. remains same

Answer 1

The correct option is B decreases

Gravitational force = $\frac{G{m}_1{m}_2}{r^2}$
$G$: Gravitational constant.
$m_1,m_2$: masses of two bodies.
$r$: distance between two bodies.
Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two bodies. Hence, gravitational force decreases on increasing the distance between two bodies.
