Which of the given two statements A and B is/are true? What is the force of gravity: A. It is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects. B. It is directly proportional to the square of the distance between two objects.
Only A is true while B is false.
he correct answer is Option 3: Only A is true while B is false.
Here is why:
According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force (F) between two objects is given by the formula:
F=Gr2m1⋅m2
Statement A is true: The force is directly proportional to the product of the masses (F∝m1⋅m2). If mass increases, gravity increases.
Statement B is false: The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (F∝r21). If the distance between the objects increases, the gravitational force decreases.
Correct Option:
Option 3 (Only A is true while B is false.)
