Question

The law of universal gravitation can be expressed as
Options
A F = GM₁M₂/r
B F = ma
C F = GM/r²
D kma = f
Correct Answer

Option E is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: F = G M₁M₂/r².

Hint

The force depends on the product of masses and inverse square of distance.
