Question

Inverse square law means $\mathrm{F}\propto \frac{1}{{\mathrm{d}}^2}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Inverse square law:

1. If the force between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them i.e. $\mathrm{F}\propto \frac{1}{{\mathrm{d}}^2}$then it is known as inverse square law.
2. $F$ is the force between the bodies, $d$ is the distance between two bodies
3. Example - Gravitational Force, the formula is $F=G\frac{m_1{m}_2}{r^2}$ where $G,m_1,m_{2}andr$ are gravitational constant, masses, and distance between the masses.

Hence, the given statement is true.
