Question

What is the formula for the force of attraction (F) between two objects of masses M and m which lie at a distance d from each other, where G is the constant of proportionality called as universal gravitation constant?

A.

F = G ( M x m ) / d

B.

F = G ( M x m ) / d²

C.

F = G x d² / M x m

D.

F = G x d / M x m

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) .
Formula Explanation: The formula for the gravitational force of attraction F between two masses M and mmm separated by a distance d is given by:
F=
Where:
· F is the gravitational force between the two objects.
· G is the universal gravitational constant (6.674×Nm2/kg2).
· M and mmm are the masses of the two objects.
· d is the distance between the centers of the two masses.
Information Booster:
· Inverse Square Law: The force decreases with the square of the distance between the objects, making gravitational attraction weaker as the distance increases.
· Universal Gravitational Constant (G): GGG is a constant that applies universally, reflecting the weak nature of gravitational force compared to other fundamental forces.
· Newton’s Law of Gravitation: This formula is derived from Newton's law of universal gravitation, which explains the gravitational attraction between two masses.
