Which of the following quantities is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull between two objects?

(A) The sum of their masses
(B)The sum of their volumes
(C) The square of the distance that separates them
(D) The distance from their center to their surface


Sagot :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces

I hope this helps a little bit

The correct Option is :

=》(C) The square of the distance that separates them

  • [tex]f \: \: \dfrac{1}{ \alpha } \: \: r {}^{2} [/tex]

where,

f = gravitational force

r = distance between the objects
