What is the formula for gravitational force between two objects?
What is the formula for gravitational force between two objects?
- F = G * (m1 + m2) / r
- F = G * (m1 * m2) / r
- F = G * (m1 + m2) / r^2
- F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2 (correct)
What is the universal law of gravitation?
What is the universal law of gravitation?
- It states that every object in the universe is attracted to the Earth with a force that is directly proportional to the object's mass.
- It states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the distance between their centers.
- It states that the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the product of the masses of the objects.
- It states that every point mass in the universe attracts every other point mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. (correct)
