Question

How does the gravitational force of attraction between two masses depend on the distance between them?

Open in App

Solution

The gravitational force of attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The gravitational force $F = G \frac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ , where $r$ is the distance between two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ .
