The force of attraction between any two objects is inversely proportional to the:

• A. product of the mas of the bodies
• B. distance between them
• C. square of the product of the masses of the bodies
• D. square of the distance between them

Answer 1

Answer:

D. square of the distance between them

• According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force of attraction between any two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

• F=Gm₁m₂/r²
