Question

The gravitational force decreases as the _____ between two objects increases.

distance
mass
force

Answer 1

I believe it's distance : )

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, Distance

Explanation :

Gravitational force : It is a type of force that acts between the two masses which are separated by the distance.

The formula used for gravitational force is,

`F_g=G(m_1m_2)/(r^2)`

where,

`F_g` = gravitational force

G = gravitational constant

`m_1` and
`m_2` are the masses of the objects

r = distance between the two object

From this we conclude that the gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases because there is an inverse relationship between the gravitational force and the distance between the two objects.

Hence, the correct option is, Distance
