The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the distance between the two objects.

Answer 1

The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it is given by :

`F\propto (m_1m_2)/(r^2)`

`F=G (m_1m_2)/(r^2)`...............(1)

Where m₁ and m₂ are masses

r is the distance between them

It is clear from equation (1) that :

1. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

2. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

Hence, this is the required solution.
