Question

what is the term for the attractive force between two point masses of unit mass that are a unit distance apart? a gravitational potential b acceleration due to gravity c gravitational field d universal gravitational constant

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The gravitational force between two - point masses is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation. The universal gravitational constant ($G$) is the proportionality constant in the formula $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $F$ is the gravitational force, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses, and $r$ is the distance between them.

Answer:

d. universal gravitational constant
