Question

what is the equation for finding the gravitational force of an object? (1 point)

$\bigcirc f = m\frac{m}{g^{2}}$

$\bigcirc f = \frac{m}{v}$

$\bigcirc f = m + g$

$\bigcirc f = mg$

Explanation:

Gravitational force is calculated using Newton's second law adapted for gravity. Here, \(m\) is mass (\(kg\)) and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity (\(m/s^{2}\)). The formula \(F = mg\) directly gives the gravitational force. Other options like \(F=m\frac{m}{s^{2}}\) (incorrect variable use), \(F=\frac{m}{v}\) (momentum - velocity relation misapplied), \(F = m + g\) (invalid operation for force - mass and acceleration are multiplied, not added) are wrong.

Answer:

\(F = mg\) (the fourth option)
