Answer:
The correct answer is the second option
Explanation:
The formula in question (for gravitational force) is provided below
F = G.m₁.m₂/r²
Where
F = force of gravity
G = gravity constant (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ m.kg⁻¹.s⁻²)
m₁ and m₂ = are the masses of the objects
r² = distance between the centers of the two objects
From the above, it can be deduced that m₁ and m₂ are masses and hence can only be positive. Positives multiplied together only gives positive, thus the second option is correct.
