- Every two bodies in this universe attract each other with a force of attraction called the force of gravitation.
- This force depends on the product of masses of two bodies.
- It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Thus, Force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between the two objects is the incorrect answer.
Additional Information
- In the first law of Newton, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it.
- In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.
- In the
third law , when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
