What is the relationship between the strength of the gravitational field and the distance from the mass point?
The strength of the gravitational field is directly proportional to the distance from the point mass
The strength of the gravitational field is inversely proportional to the distance from the point mass
The strength of the gravitational field is directly proportional to the square of the distance from the point mass
The strength of the gravitational field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the point mass
The formula for the gravitational field due to a point mass is g = Gm/r^2. As the distance from the point mass increases, the gravitational field strength decreases as the square of the distance.
