Question
in the formula f = gmm/d², which statement is true for the quantity g? a depends on the value of g at the place of observation b is used only when the earth is one of the two masses c is greatest at the surface of the earth d is universal constant of nature
The gravitational constant $G$ in the formula $F = \frac{GMm}{d^{2}}$ is a universal constant of nature. Its value is approximately $6.67\times 10^{- 11}\ Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ and does not change with location or the values of other variables in the formula such as mass or distance. It is a fundamental constant in Newton's law of universal - gravitation.
