A body is acted upon by a constant force directed towards a fixed point. The magnitude of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance from the fixed point. What is the nature of the path?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Circle

Option C (Circle) is correct because a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance directed towards a fixed point results in orbital motion, which can be circular under specific conditions.
