What is the formula to calculate gravitational force between two objects?
What is the formula to calculate gravitational force between two objects?
- F = (m * v^2) / r
- F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2 (correct)
- F = G * (m1 + m2) / r
- F = m * g

What did Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation state?
- Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle 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)
- Gravitational force is directly proportional to the distance between two objects
- Gravitational force depends only on the mass of the objects
- Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the product of their masses

Gravitational Force Formula
Gravitational Force Formula
The force of attraction between two objects is calculated by: F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2 where: F = Gravitational Force, G = Gravitational Constant, m1 = Mass of object 1, m2 = Mass of object 2, r = Distance between the centers of the objects
