MCQ
An object performs action due to force acting towards a point. The mgnitude of force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. The path of the object will be:
  • ✓
    Ellipse
  • B
    Hyperbola
  • C
    Circle
  • D
    Parabola
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
Ellipse
A
$F \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$, If this happens then the path of the object will be elliptical, hence the correct option is (A).
