Question

question 18 of 24 which of the following equations represents the law of universal gravitation? a. f = g m / r² b. f = g m₁m₂ / r c. f = mg d. f = g m₁m₂ / r²

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation states that 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 their centers. The formula is \( F_g = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \), where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( m_1, m_2 \) are the masses, and \( r \) is the distance.

Answer:

D. \( F_g = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \)
