The force of gravity varies with the:
A)product of the two masses.
B)inverse of the distance separating the two bodies.
C)inverse square of the distance separating the two bodies.
D)Both A and B are correct.
E)Both A and C are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them. This is known as the inverse square law of gravitation, which is described by choice C. Therefore, option E, which includes both A and C, is the correct choice. The force of gravity between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses (choice A) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers (choice C). Therefore, both options A and C are correct.
