What is the relationship between the strength of the gravitational field and the distance from the mass point?

 

Option: 1

The strength of the gravitational field is directly proportional to the distance from the point mass


 


Option: 2

The strength of the gravitational field is inversely proportional to the distance from the point mass


 


Option: 3

The strength of the gravitational field is directly proportional to the square of the distance from the point mass

 

 


Option: 4

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.
