Which of the sketched graphs above illustrates the correct variation of the gravitational force, Fg between two objects and the distance, d, between the centre
- A
-
B
- C
- D
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
OPTION B is the correct answer because gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two bodies according to Newton's law of universal gravitation.
\( F_g = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\)
